Laura Sweeting is a much loved colleague and more importantly friend of Neo's, having worked with us twice over the past 10 years. Laura has always lead her life at full throttle - from biking, swimming, surfing, skiing and even running a marathon last year (with no training!!).

On Dec 27th 2017, Laura was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour and had brain surgery to remove it in January 2018, causing 40% loss in vision. This didn't stop her getting back on her bike and out running, and even skiing again within 2 months!

Unfortunately, her first MRI scan after surgery revealed that the tumour has grown back already. Laura now faces another operation plus chemo and radiotherapy, and potential further loss of sight.

Neo and friends are fundraising to assist in Laura's treatment and ensure she can continue to stay in Bristol where her treatment is planned.

In the spirit of how Laura leads her life, we will be running a number of different events:
- our MD (Matt Nash) paving the way by having his hair shaved off
- we have a Neo team running the London North Half Tough Mudder in July ( https://toughmudder.co.uk/events/2018-london-north-half)
- our PA Josephine has cooked cakes and lunches to sell every Friday in June
- a cake sale on July 9th
- garage sale mid-July
- team running a virtual runathon (each member running 50miles/80km over July)

Also a big thanks to Laura's Manchester media network, who are also supporting our fundraising efforts with the MPA annual charity bike ride being in support of Laura this year - more info on the link below:
