As told by Peta-Jane’s husband, Matthew:
Peta-Jane was my wife, sadly taken from me and our 8 month old daughter at the age of 31, by an aggressive brain tumour.
In time, I decided to choose a charity to raise funds in her memory. I looked long and hard at what was out there, I even considered starting one on my own.
Then I found out about Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust. This brave young girl fell victim to this terrible disease in 1996. Her parents, to their horror, found research to be lacking and years behind, and pledged to increase the work done on this much forgotton cancer.
Today they have done just that and to their credit the fund raises millions of pounds for this much needed research.

On 21 June family and friends of Peta-Jane took part in a walking challenge in her memory. They climbed the Yorkshire Three Peaks – Penny-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough which is a 25 mile circular walk and quite a challenge.
