Raising money for

Teenage Cancer Trust

Charity Registration No. 1062559

Every day in the UK, six teenagers are diagnosed with cancer. At Teenage Cancer Trust, we understand that cancer doesn’t stop these teenagers being teenagers. We know that young people have a much better chance if they are treated by teenage cancers experts, in an environment tailored to their needs. So we have created specialist units that aren’t like ordinary cancer wards. Everything about them has been designed to give teenagers the very best chance of a positive outcome. And we want every young person with cancer in this country to have that chance.

My story

Having completed a stunning 13 miles - literally a marathon - the sights have now been set on raising the full 10K. As a result, some of this ship of fools have taken it upon themselves to run 10K (very clever) events until we reach this target.

First up is the Finsbury Park 10K on September 21st, next is the Dulwich 10K on October 5th, with more to follow if necessary. Oh and a 10 mile race in Battersea on Saturday 13th at quarter to eight in the morning. Jesus.

If you don't already know the story, then please read this to appreciate how worthwhile a cause it is:
