Survival of the Fittest supports research into brain tumours

A team from Devon FA is set to raise money for the Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence at Plymouth University, by taking part in the Men’s Health Survival of the Fittest 10K assault course at Wembley on 21st November.

The eight contestants are in training for the event, which involves at least 50 obstacles to be tackled on the 10K course.

Simon Ible, conductor

Brahms: Symphony No.1 in C minor Nicolai: The Merry Wives of Windsor Overture

Brahms took 21 years to compose his first symphony. The conductor for the premiere, Hans von Bülow, referred to it as 'Beethoven's 10th' - but it's more of a homage than plagiarism.

This event is free, with donations to Plymouth University Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence gratefully received.
