About Ryan O'Shea
Hello All,
I have signed up to the 2023 Island Walk and I am raising money for The Jersey Brain Tumour Charity.
Some of you may already know in April/May 2022 I was diagnosed with a brain tumour and underwent double brain surgery. Due to the location of my tumour it is not possible to remove but it was possible to have a shunt installed internally.
The Jersey Brain Tumour Charity have been there for me post op's and I would like to raise awareness and give something back to them.
Since the new year I have joined a local run club (Rock n Road Runners) too; help me lose weight, help with my mental health and prepare for the walk. I have added some photos in the banner of me preparing for the walk (also keep an eye out in the year as I am hoping to be doing a couple more charity events).

Fundraising Information
This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:
The Jersey Brain Tumour Charity was formed to support Jersey residents in meeting the challenges that a brain tumour diagnosis can bring. The aim of the charity is to ensure that any Islander affected by a brain tumour diagnosis whether directly or indirectly, is well supported and able to make informed decisions and never feels alone on their journey. To date, we have supported over 400 people.
There are 130 different types of brain tumour and until the Jersey Brain Tumour Charity was established in 2011, there were no local organisations specifically dedicated to supporting patients, clients and families affected by them.
Our services are highly tailored to the needs of our patients to ensure we provide high quality and consistent support during times of uncertainty. We also hold 1 monthly support group meeting at St Paul's gate and a Buddies Walk these are designed to help people share experiences and provide peer support for patients, families and friends.
