Synopsis
Sport unites all, regardless of skill, fitness or goal.
Lauren's Dad was diagnosed with a stage four glioblastoma; a highly aggressive brain tumour and among the deadliest in adults. She's running the Brighton marathon in aid of Brainstrust in April 2026. Sport unites all, regardless of skill, fitness or goal.
From the Editor...
This was a heartfelt episode to film. When we took on the SPORTA Docu-series in July last year, just a week prior had Lauren been told that her Dad had a stage four glioblastoma; a very aggressive brain tumour. SPORTA is a small team, yet somehow most of them know of at least someone who has suffered with this type of cancer. Thanks to Lauren for being open and willing to share her story.
