Hi, my name is Harry and I am running the Rugby Half-Marathon on the 25th October 2026 at 9am to help raise money for Annabell, a young girl who has been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain tumour.

Annabell has undergone brain surgery at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where she had a biopsy and a shunt inserted to relieve pressure on her brain. She continues to receive specialist care, while her family remain by her side every step of the way.

As you can imagine, this has turned life upside down for her mum, dad and the whole family. Their only priority right now is spending as much time as possible with Annabell, supporting her, making precious memories together, and ensuring she has everything she needs during this incredibly difficult time.

Annabelle has now completed six weeks of radiotherapy. As the family look ahead for the next stage of her treatment, they are exploring all possible options, including future treatments and clinical trials that may be available in the UK and potentially abroad.

Any support will help with future treatments and trials and anything Annabell may need to bring her comfort and make the coming weeks and months as special as possible.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.

All funds raised through this GoFundMe will go directly to Annabell’s family to help support her ongoing medical needs, future treatments and trials, and anything that may bring her comfort during this incredibly difficult time.
