Support My London Marathon Journey for Cancer52
Hello everyone!
This year, I will be running the iconic London Marathon for the first time—an event that marks not only an incredible personal challenge but also an important milestone in my life. In 2026, I will turn 40, and what better way to celebrate this milestone than by giving back to a cause that has touched my life in such a powerful way?
I am running in support of Cancer52, a charity that’s close to my heart. Cancer52 is dedicated to supporting people affected by rare and less common cancers, and funding vital research and awareness initiatives. My connection to this cause is deeply personal, as my wife has previously battled one of these rare cancers.
As a father of two young girls (aged 6 and 8), I am especially motivated to help ensure that future generations have better treatments and outcomes when it comes to cancer, no matter how rare it may be.
I know how precious time is, and seeing the impact that rare cancers can have on families - like mine - has inspired me to do everything I can to raise funds, awareness, and bring hope to others in similar situations. Every donation will go directly to Cancer52 and help fund the research and support these families needs.
Why your support matters:
Rare cancers are often overlooked, and patients can face challenges in accessing the care they need.
Research is crucial to ensure that we develop better treatments, better survival rates, and ultimately a cure.
Your donation helps fund essential programs that support those impacted by rare cancers, from providing resources for patients to advancing research efforts.
How you can help:
Donate: Any amount, big or small, will make a real difference.
Share: Spread the word! The more people who know about this cause, the greater the impact we can make together.
Support my journey: Your encouragement and support will keep me motivated as I prepare for this challenge.
This marathon is not just about me reaching the finish line—it’s about making a difference for families affected by rare cancers. Together, we can help create a future where fewer people have to face the unknown when it comes to cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you for your generosity and support as I take on this monumental challenge. Let’s do this together!
