At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you. Visit www.younglivesvscancer.org.uk

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit ourJustGiving page.

We have been trying to run the London Marathon since 2019 and have trained for a marathon four times during this time! 

The main reason we are taking on this challenge is in memory of Karen’s lovely cousin Ben, who tragically died from leukaemia just before his seventh birthday. 
Young Lives vs Cancer are an amazing charity and were a source of immense support for Ben and his parents as they fought against cancer. 

Unfortunately, due to Andy being injured we could not take part in 2019. Luckily, the lovely people at Young Lives vs Cancer agreed to let us defer our places but then Covid hit so this is our 4th attempt at running London! (We ran virtually in October 2020!)   

So please  support us both by giving generously as we push our 44 year old bodies 26.2miles around London! 

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
