The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, we're doing whatever it takes to help more people with cancer get the best care the UK has to offer, whoever and wherever they are. To donate, volunteer, raise money or campaign with us, call 0300 1000 200 or visit macmillan.org.uk

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I told myself I wouldn't do another marathon anytime soon unless the charity was right. In fact, I was really looking forward to NOT having to run 42 km in one go next year... 

Then, just recently, my family had the C-bomb catapult into our world and it's a horrible, horrible disease. It's very difficult to watch a loved one endure it, especially knowing there is nothing you can do to make it better. I'm not a nurse and I certainly can't cure cancer, but I can try my best to raise some money to contribute to those that can. 

I might have done one before, but it's really bloody hard and training over the bitter British winter is a bleak prospect; however, enduring that is nothing compared to living with Cancer. If I know that with each mile I run I can contribute to MacMillan making that more bearable, then I'd run a thousand marathons in a heartbeat (not that I'm that fast, obviously).

I'll be running the Brighton Marathon on 15th April 2018 and so am asking you to please donate to MacMillan Cancer Support to make this challenge worth it.

Life with cancer is still life, and we'll help you live it. Right from the moment you’re diagnosed, through your treatment and beyond, we’re a constant source of support, giving you the energy and inspiration to help you take back control of your life, and feel more like yourself again.
