Myself & Dan will be taking on the London Marathon 2023 in support of Nerve Tumours UK! This charity is very close to our hearts. Dan's brother and close friend of mine, Patrick Smith suffers with a very rare condition called NF2 (Neurofibromatosis type 2). 1 in 33,000 people worldwide suffer with this condition and there is very little research, support and understanding around it. Nerve Tumours UK has been a strong pillar of support for my brother and other people with similar conditions, so we feel that the support for this charity is extremely important and would like to raise awareness for their cause and the conditions they focus on. Despite Pat’s condition, he has completed two very successful fundraisers for Nerve Tumours UK to date, raising over £13,000 for the charity over the last few years. Despite his condition, Pat has continually pushed himself beyond the limits of what he thought was possible, completing a 7-day walking challenge and a 13km triathlon, inspiring so many along the way - a breath-taking story which the BBC covered on Midlands Today and was noticed by many who nominated Pat for the National Diversity Awards in 2021. For more information on our fundraiser please see the link below: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/derry-dan Due to my work in football I have been lucky enough to collate some signed football items to raffle off with all proceeds going towards Nerve Tumours UK. Any donations are much appreciated!
