The Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity aka SuperJosh We help children & their families living with brain tumours, post surgery disabilities and others along Josh's journey in his legacy. Thanks to so many amazing sponsors, donations & volunteers we are able to help families with practical, financial & emotional support. Josh was diagnosed in 2004 with a brain stem tumour and given weeks to live, life saving surgery resulted in him having severe post surgery disabilities. Dawn & Josh's Dad Colin, began a new journey with their gorgeous boy, in a world of endless challenges & fundraising for house adaptations and equipment. After an almost 10 year journey Josh and his Mum Dawn launched their charity The Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity in 2013, to start to help other families living with brain tumours. Josh was so so proud of his charity and was empowered by helping other children and young people through his fundraising. Sadly Josh passed away in the following November of 2014. He leaves an incredible legacy that to date has raised over £550,000 helping to support over 1,700 families.

BIG is a local charity run by a dedicated and passionate team of volunteers with lived experience of mental health conditions. We understand how hard it is living with a mental health condition, that's why we will never stop supporting those who need our help most. We provide free mental health support groups, offering hope enabling recovery and empowering people to improve their quality of life. BIG is a partner charity for this years ASDA Foundation Bury 10 K, we'll be providing marshals to help run the event, setting up a cheer section to provide much needed encouragement and refreshments for the runners and we'll be talking to people about the work we do at our Marquee in the events village. We're taking part in the event as it's a great opportunity for us to come out and talk to the people of Bury about the work we love doing and why it's so important. We hope that this event will help us raise the profile of our charity, so if someone finds themselves needing support they know where to turn. After the event we'll be running an open group at our regular Sunday Social which is held at in the Re-Start Room in the Castle Leisure Centre, we want to provide an opportunity for people to come down and see for themselves the work we do and why it is important not only to us but the people we support. We also want to celebrate the day with a little party to thank all the runners and volunteers who've given up their time and effort for our charity.
