THE BIG BRAIN TUMOUR TREK FOR BRAINSTRUST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Beth Phelps will join in the "Follow the Seagulls" charity walk in Dartmouth for the second year in a row, as a heartfelt tribute to her mother Ruth and a commitment to helping those facing brain tumours. The gesture demonstrates her strong personal connection to the cause and continued commitment to the community. This walk helps to highlight her family's deep connection with brainstrust charity, which provided amazing support to her Mum following her diagnosis with a frontal lobe glioblastoma in June 2022. Sadly, Ruth passed away in June 2023, having completed the Follow the Seagulls incredible 50-mile journey last year less than two months prior. Talking about her motivation for doing the trek again this year Beth said, "In 2023, I walked alongside her, but in 2024, I will walk for her.” Beth aims not only to commemorate her mother's bravery and spirit but also to amplify awareness and gather support for brainstrust. The charity has been a beacon of hope and assistance for herself and her family and countless others navigating the challenges posed by brain tumours. Beth is calling on the community for support in her venture, whether through donations, spreading the word, or providing encouragement. Her walk serves as a sign of courage and solidarity with all individuals and families dealing with the devastating consequences of brain tumours.
