Ali’s Dream
So… We’ve decided to ride for a charity named Ali’s Dream who fund research into childhood brain tumours.
Following the passing of Adam Smith (the brother of a close friend) in 2003, Ali’s Dream has been a charity close to both of our hearts. Having heard of the work they do from Simon and having been to a few other Ali’s Dream fundraising events, we thought this epic ride would be a fantastic way to raise loads of cash for this very worthy cause.
A bit about the charity:
Ali’s Dream was launched in June 2001 following the loss of Alison Phelan three weeks before her eighth birthday. Horrified by the lack of funding for research and the prospect that it is unlikely that a cure will be found in the next five years, Alison’s family and friends set up the charity with the objective of raising funds for research into childhood brain tumours.
The trustees have established a paediatric focused scientific and medical advisory board and invite applications for funding via leaflet distribution at relevant conferences and contacting known research units. The charity will fund scientific, medical and patient / carer qualitative / quantitative research in pursuit of their objectives.
