Big Wight Matter

Join Andrea’s Gift and friends of the 14 UK brain tumour charities that have joined together to form Brain Tumour Research in a fun walking event …

Big + Wight + Matter = Family fun on the Isle of Wight! 

Join in, raise much needed funds for the brain cancer community and have a great time in the process!

 Where: Brighstone Holiday Centre, Isle of Wight

When: 25 – 27 September 2009

Who: Families and friends of the brain tumour community

What: an invitation to people and dogs of all ages to raise funds for their favourite brain cancer charity affiliated to Brain Tumour Research! You can participate at whatever level you want. Two fifteen mile walks, taking in the breathtaking scenery and big skies of West Wight, can be done on two consecutive days. Much shorter walks will also be organised for little legs!

Basecamp will be at Brighstone Holiday Centre, where additional entertainment and events will be provided such as music, a hog roast, BBQ facilities, swimming and the all important beer tent. You will be able to walk from basecamp straight onto the cliff paths and wherever possible walks will be off roads. A quiz/treasure hunt will be included and there will be a prize giving ceremony.

How will this event raise much needed funds for my favourite brain cancer charity?

You’ll be able to support the brain tumour community twice over! Firstly through seeking sponsorship for your efforts for Andrea’s Gift, whatever the length of walk you opt to do. And secondly, by donating the miles you walk to IBTA, you will be contributing to IBTA’s annual Walk Around the World for Brain Tumours.

This event is being organised by brainstrust on behalf of Brain Tumour Research and its affiliated charities. You will need to register with brainstrust to be able to participate in this event, more information very soon!
