    Hi folks, next Saturday would have been my younger bro's 60th birthday. To mark the occasion 4 of us are doing the cross Wales challenge, which is 77.25km walking with an arduous 2154 mtrs of ascent (48 miles - 7066ft, in old money) We were unable to join the 46 mile official route as it is limited numbers on the first section, much of it across private land. So we've planned our own extended route for the Friday and will join the official route for the last 48km early on Saturday morning.
    We are once again trying to raise as much money as we can for Brain Tumour Research. A day's research costs £2740, so we have rather ambitiously set that as our target.
    If anyone is able to kindly donate, it would be very much appreciated.If you are able, please remember to gift aid, it makes a big difference to our total

    If any mods or members are able to share this on their clubs board that too would be very much appreciated.

    Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age. What’s more, they kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer... yet historically just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.
