Over the last year, my friend Lauren has been receiving treatment at The Royal Marsden hospital in London. I am running a 6K as part of a group of Lauren’s friends called Ellis’ Elves to help raise money to support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and all the fantastic work that they have done for Lauren and many others.

Here is a bit about the charity:
