In memory of Ken Paul
Our amazing team of London Marathon runners will be working together to raise £70,000 to fund research into how diet, weight and physical activity affect your risk of developing and surviving cancer.

Story

Ken Paul devoted his professional life to upholding the principle of a presumption of innocence in the NYC courts.  Federal judges praised him for “having an abundance of decency and integrity” as he fought to defend those who had no means of defending themselves.  He was also a loving husband, a proud father and my beloved uncle.  

For years, he quietly fought cancer as vehemently as he fought for justice and in the end, taught me another invaluable lesson: how to confront death with dignity.  The pandemic prevented me from mourning with my family.  In his memory, I am running the London Marathon this October to raise funds for the World Cancer Research Fund and would be very grateful for your support.
