menopause<\/a> and anxiety.<\/p>\nJack said: \u201cIt was only after a routine gynecology appointment in November 2018 that the consultant saw how unwell she was and referred her for an emergency scan where the tumor was discovered in the 30 minutes it took to complete.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I got a phone call from my dad, Richard, he was so distraught I could barely understand him. He said, \u2018Your mom\u2019s got a brain tumor\u2019 and I felt like the ground had fallen beneath me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack said this experience changed him and inspired him to support Brain Tumour Research, because of its focus on funding scientific research and finding a cure.<\/p>\n
Jack said: \u201cThe experience transformed my outlook on life and inspired me to build a brand with a purpose beyond sport.<\/p>\n
\u201cCramp Killa isn\u2019t just about helping athletes perform at their best. It\u2019s about creating something positive from an incredibly difficult experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery order placed means another contribution towards finding a cure for brain tumors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jack was also inspired by his British swimmer friend Archie Goodburn, who has qualified for the upcoming Commonwealth Games despite being diagnosed with three oligodendrogliomas at the age of 23.<\/p>\n
Brain tumors kill more children and adults under 40 than any other cancer, and more women under 35 than breast cancer, yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to brain tumors since records began in 2002.<\/p>\n
Jack said: \u201cI hope the partnership will unite the endurance sport community behind the cause.<\/p>\n
\u201cEndurance athletes and runners raise millions for charity every year.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Cramp Killa can become part of that journey while helping fund research into brain tumors, that would mean everything to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dan Knowles, chief executive of Brain Tumour Research, said: \u201cMichelle\u2019s story is a powerful reminder of why greater investment in research is urgently needed.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur scientists are working tirelessly to unravel the underlying biology of these dreadful tumors and uncover new ways to attack them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis invaluable partnership with Cramp Killa will help to fuel new discoveries and pave the way to smarter, kinder treatments for patients.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are hugely grateful to Jack and everyone at Cramp Killa for supporting our vision to find a cure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Brain Tumour Research via SWNS) By Alexandra Snow A mom’s “confused and disjointed” speech was dismissed as menopausal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":513035,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[235270,4449,99888,3858,235271,3862,163,4454,85,46,3865,2409,11556,47262,4451,2161,4712,1360],"class_list":["post-513034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health","tag-alexandra-snow","tag-brain-tumor","tag-brain-tumour-research","tag-clinical-medicine","tag-cramp","tag-diseases-and-disorders","tag-health","tag-human-diseases-and-disorders","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-medical-specialties","tag-medicine","tag-menopause","tag-neoplasm","tag-neoplasms","tag-neuroscience","tag-oncology","tag-research"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513034"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513034\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/513035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
