Solicitor Connor Fairbairn is running the Edinburgh Marathon in May to raise funds for Neil’s Appeal which is part of Brain Tumour Research.
Brain tumours affect more people under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.
Connor said: “Neil’s Appeal is an initiative from Solicitor, Alex Taylor and her husband, Neil. A lot of us in Manchester know about this charity and have supported before, and there has been a great response so far.”
