In April 2026, I’ll be taking on the London Marathon in support of the Bone Cancer Research Trust – a charity that’s incredibly close to my heart.

Back in 2013, my good friend Adam Lovell was diagnosed with bone cancer at just 23 years old.

It was an unbelievably tough time but Adam faced every challenge with his incredible strength and positivity. With the help of charities like Bone Cancer Research Trust, Adam is now 10 years all clear! He’s built a beautiful life with his amazing wife and two wonderful daughters, and seeing him thrive today is the best reminder of why this cause matters so much.

Not everyone’s story ends this way. Too many families are still facing bone cancer diagnoses with uncertainty and fear. That’s why I’m running – to raise money for the research, support, and breakthroughs that give people the chance to live full, happy lives, just like Adam.

Every donation, no matter how small, helps make that possible.

Thank you so much for reading, for donating, and for being part of this journey with me!

More about the charity:

The Bone Cancer Research Trust is the only charity dedicated to this disease, it is a small but national charity based in Leeds, UK. They fund ground-breaking research, life-saving awareness initiatives and provide dedicated and trustworthy information and support to patients and all their loved ones... All without any government funding. They rely 100% on people like you supporting their work through donations.

Their work has never been so crucial and vital. Figures from the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) have shown that research into primary bone cancer continues to be critically underfunded, with the main UK charities allocating just 0.02% of the £630million research investment for 2020-21 to this devastating disease.
