From Brain Tumour to London Marathon!

In today’s episode, Mike is joined by Jane Roberts, who shares the remarkable story of how what she thought were perimenopause symptoms, including memory lapses and brain fog, ultimately led to an unexpected brain tumour diagnosis.

Jane opens up about the shock of discovering she had brain cancer, the fear and uncertainty surrounding her diagnosis, and the difficult decisions around biopsy, treatment, and living with a watch-and-wait approach.

She also shares how running became a vital coping tool, giving her a sense of control while helping her turn a deeply personal experience into a platform for fundraising and awareness. From completing a half marathon dressed as a giant brain to training for the London Marathon, Jane is determined to raise money for research and shine a greater light on brain tumours.

Jane discusses the challenges of limited treatment options, the urgent need for greater research and funding, and why she describes herself as a “hope hunter.” For Jane, hope isn’t about simply waiting for something to change,it’s about asking questions, making connections, challenging the status quo, and taking action.

This is a powerful conversation about resilience, uncertainty, finding purpose, and choosing to keep moving forward when life suddenly changes direction.
