RACING for charity

Fundraising via Virgin Money Giving, Chris has already almost reached the halfway mark to his £2000 target, with help from his uncle’s pub on Tooley street – which Chris will almost run right past on the big day. During the weekend of the 27th February, Andy put on a quiz night and raffle in The Shipwright’s upstairs function room, with all proceeds going to the Brain and Spine Foundation. Raising money for charity is not new to Andy and his team; having already taken part in a two day 60km walk to raise money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

Chris has chosen to support The Brain and Spine Foundation specifically as it supports research into a broad range of conditions relating to the brain and spine; there are hundreds of these, many are complex and can be poorly understood by those affected.

Launched in 1992 by neurosurgeon Peter Hamlyn, together with a group of leading neurologists and neurosurgeons, the Brain and Spine Foundation aims to reduce neurological disability through research and education, and also to improve the quality of life for people already living with neurological disorders across the UK. This is achieved through providing accessible information and support networks, including a free helpline staffed by neuroscience nurses, a comprehensive website, and a range of 25 booklets and fact sheets which discuss different conditions, procedures and symptoms written in lay terms.

‘‘raising funds to continue the fantastic work of The Brain and Spine Foundation

The British Brain and Spine Foundation is funded almost entirely by voluntary donations, and so the charity is involved in all sorts of fundraising events such as the London to Paris cycle ride, sponsored skydives and parachute jumps, and Trek Kilimanjaro – as well as, of course, the London Marathon!

Chris’ fundraising and training are well underway, to support his dedicated effort to “raise funds to continue the fantastic work that The Brain and Spine Foundation undertake”, please visit his Virgin Money Giving page: www.uk.virginmoneygiving.com/ChrisDavis8
