Pete chose us as he feels that brain tumours affect so many and yet there is so little understanding by the public at large. It is also a subject that is close to Pete’s heart as he lost his best friend at school to a brain tumour and has been raising funds recently for a local boy who has an inoperable brain tumour.
“And I for one am full of admiration for your courage and determination, not only to achieve a super human feat but also to raise funds for these charities that so desperately need all of our support.” Bear Grylls
