I guess it's the classic challenge yourself to something before you turn 40. Well, any of you that knew me as a kid will know I've never been a runner so this has been a real challenge for me. I ran my first ever 5km a year and a half ago and decided to set my sights on a bigger goal. 

Sadly over the years, I have had more and more people in my life affected by Cancer and The Royal Marsden has been a lifeline to so many of them. 

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money solely to support The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. They ensure their nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world. From funding state-of-the-art equipment and groundbreaking research to creating the very best patient environments, they never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
