Half Marathon for Archie

London Landmarks Half Marathon 2021 · 1 August 2021 ·
I'm running the London Landmarks Half Marathon to raise money for my little mate Archie Wilks. He's a 5 year-old boy, who has been bravely fighting Neuroblastoma for the past two years. He's doing well so far but just needs a bit more help and any money you can spare would really help give Archie the best chance of finally beating this once and for all. Please read his story below...
Archie is 5 years old, an identical twin and was diagnosed with stage 4 high risk Neuroblastoma in January 2019.
In December of 2018 Archie became very unwell and was even unable to stand. Eventually after a few weeks worth of trips to A&E and multiple different diagnosis Archie was kept in Hospital for extensive tests. During an ultrasound a large mass was found around Archie's kidney, this is when it became very serious. On the 18th January 2019 Archie is officially diagnosed with Stage 4 high Risk Neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma is a rare and cruel form of childhood cancer which is extremely hard to cure. Neuroblastoma has a very high relapse rate and when a child relapses, it becomes even harder to cure.
Archie is aiming to raise the funds to undergo a vaccine treatment in the US that will look to give him the best chance of beating the disease for good.
He is a little superstar and has battled hard throughout all of his treatments! Archie has had countless courses of chemotherapy and has even took part in a clinical trial on the NHS.
Archie is such a happy, cheeky little boy who loves Harry Potter and Tottenham Football Club, especially his best friend Harry Kane.
The support that has been shown to Archie and his whole family throughout his battle has been truly incredible and we hope your support can continue has Archie continues to fight.
