Children's Cancer North is dedicated to making life better for children with cancer across the North East and Cumbria. Around 100 children from across the region are newly diagnosed with cancer every year and come to the Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle for their treatment. Children's Cancer North aims to improve their quality of life through transforming the environment and play experience on the wards, providing access to potentially life saving clinical trials and funding revolutionary research to find more effective treatments.

I will be doing a few races for for CCN.Already completed are Birmingham half, Ramathon (Derby Half), The Big Half and GNR.

The focus now is on the Yorkshire marathon in October - my 50th official marathon!

A great cause.  Cancer sucks.  We all know that.  But for a child to have to suffer from such a disease is tough to watch, especially for their families.  I want to help CCN carry on the great work they do.  Research, support, awareness and so much more that they do.

Let's all help children fighting cancer to have a chance to recover and enjoy the things most of us take for granted.
