Parlour visit - Brian Burnie from Daft as a Brush Cancer Patient Care

This afternoon I was in the Mayor's Parlour to meet Brian Burnie, who is the founder of the charity Daft as a Brush Cancer Patient Care.

The charity offers free patient transport to and from hospital for cancer. They deliver 40,000 patient journeys each year, but have ambitions to go nationwide and increase that to one million.

Brian, who is 75 years old, is walking 7,000 miles around Britain and Ireland hoping to offer the free service nationwide, while living in a double decker with his wife Cheryl, which they have called Bluebell.

So far, Brian has walked 4,300 miles to date, meeting every Mayors in Scotland and Ireland. I was happy to accommodate his request to meet and add another Mayoral reception to his list.
