In honour of Stanley’s 10th birthday on October 18, 2025, Paul has set himself an inspiring challenge: to run ten official 10k races, one each month throughout 2025, finishing with the final race on Stanley’s special day.

Having not run since completing a marathon in Stanley’s memory back in 2018, this will be a significant undertaking for Paul, with a race roughly every four weeks. The challenge will push him physically and mentally, but the training and commitment will bring immense pride as the family celebrates their first born’s milestone birthday.

We’re thrilled that some family and friends are already lacing up their trainers to join Paul in one or more of the races (listed below). If you’d like to take part and run alongside him, we’d love for you to get involved too!

Paul is running in support of Smiles for Stanley through Solving Kids’ Cancer. If you’re able to donate and show your support, please click the link provided. Every contribution will make a difference.

Sarah, Freddie, and Darcey will be cheering him on every step of the way and would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helps raise vital funds for this incredible cause.

Thank you for taking the time to read and be part of this special celebration of Stanley’s 10th birthday year.
