Story

Thank you for taking time to visit my page.

I am incredibly excited to be running in my first major marathon. LONDON MARATHON, 02 OCTOBER  2022!!!

I will be running in memory of my father who sadly passed away 3 years ago from a melanoma that metastasized in his brain. Upon diagnosis he was told he had only 6 months left to live. He loved his sports and more importantly loved being on the side line supporting me. He would have loved to been here for this race. 

Losing a family member is the hardest thing one can experience and having a time limit on life makes you cherish every second. Having been through this and experiencing the devastation a loss brings to a family, I am honoured to be raising funds for Children with Cancer UK, where they actively raise and invest money for vital specialist research to save the lives of every child with cancer and to keep their family together. 

My hope is that I can contribute to help loved ones get more time together and with research that can result in better outcomes for many.

Please support me and the Children with Cancer charity by donating. Your money will help fund research, support families and raise awareness.

Every bit helps. See what your money can do for the Children:

£5 – Fund laboratory equipment as part of vital research into the biology of childhood leukaemia.

£10 –  Fund research into understanding the genetics of heart failure after treatment for childhood cancer.

£25 – Help fund essential blood tests to monitor the effectiveness of therapy in a ground-breaking immunotherapy trial for children with relapsed leukaemia.

£50 – Help purchase laboratory equipment to support development of scientific techniques for the treatment of children with chemotherapy- resistant sarcomas.

£100 – Fund a week’s supply of the day-to-day research equipment for the development of a supply of donated ‘ready to go’ cells, for transfusion into young patients.

£250 – Fund the development of new MRI scanning techniques for more accurate diagnosis of young patients with specific brain tumours.
