Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We had signed up to the London Marathon 2020, due to COVID we were unable to run and we deferred our place to this year. 

In April 2019 Hannah's father (Russell, 64) was diagnosed with a Stage 4 Glioblastoma (a deadly brain cancer) This news came as a complete shock to all. Up until then Russell was fit and well with no signs of illness. He was the chairman of Kempston Rovers football club, worked full time, was an incredible kind, loving husband, father, grandfather and friend to soo many. Unfortunately he lost his fight to this terrible disease on the 5th December 2019. 

Hannah and her family friends vowed to raise awareness and much needed funds to help fight back at this deadly cancer. Currently only 1% of cancer research money is spent on brain cancer research.

To date we have raised over £22,500 and hope to add to this total. It would be very much appreciated if you can donate to this cause.
