We’re Breast Cancer Now, the charity that’s steered by world-class research and powered by life-changing care. We’re here for anyone affected by breast cancer, the whole way through, providing support for today and hope for the future. By 2050, we believe everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live – and be supported to live well. But we need to act now.

Story

This is the final marathon of the 40:40:40 fundraiser - Raising £40K during my 40s for the 40 year milestone that Emily never got to see. The challenge was to run a marathon on every continent to raise money for Breast Cancer Now.

This is one of the two breast cancer charities that my cousin, Emily was raising money for before she died in 2019, aged 37.

She had raised £40K in ONE NIGHT to be split between this charity and Coppafeel. It has taken me significantly longer and I have made far more of a meal of it!

On July 26th, Travelling Fit host The Outback Marathon 2025 and this will be the last chance that I get to run to raise for these two. We have raised over the target of £20K for each (this page looks well under nut £7500 was raised on another platform that is now closed)

ANY donations now are in excess of the target so in some ways, the most generous. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and THANK YOU so much for your donation.

Here's to Emily - let's go Walkabout xx
