We pioneer life-saving cancer research to help us beat cancer

Story

I’ve decided to take on the difficult challenge of 26.2 miles, after previously struggling to run just 1! But s

o many people have suffered from this awful disease and after someone close to me was diagnosed with cancer, I decided to get off my bum and raise some money so hopefully with more research and work on the causes and prevention of cancer, millions of lives can be saved in the future. 




Cancer survival rates have doubled in the last 40 years and the work of cancer research has been at the heart of that progress.  

Sadly, more than one in three people will still get cancer at some point in their lives so there’s much more work needed to do.  

 Can’t say I’ve done a lot of exercise prior to the past 4 months of training so it truly has been a challenge for a really good cause!  

Please help me get the money so we can help the hundreds and thousands of people affected by cancer. Honestly, every little helps so I would greatly appreciate any donations!   

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.  

So please dig deep and donate now.
