In October 2025 I am moving up North and beginning a PhD in childhood medulloblastoma (brain cancer) - therefore in only makes sense to complete the 2026 Edinburgh Marathon for CCLG!

Not only does this charity do amazing work for young people with cancer and their families, but they also have a long-standing history of collaboration with research in Newcastle! Thank you in advance for any donations and I'll leave more info about the charity below:

Each week in the UK and Ireland, more than 30 children are diagnosed with cancer and around 1 in 8 children do not survive.

We are CCLG: The Children & Young People’s Cancer Association, a charity dedicated to creating a brighter future for children and young people with cancer. Powered by expertise, we unite the children and young people’s cancer community, driving collective action and progress.

We fund and lead pioneering research, provide trusted information and guidance for children and young people with cancer and their families, and bring together professionals to improve treatment, care, and outcomes.

Our work is only possible thanks to the generosity of fundraisers, donors, and supporters who share our mission. Every pound raised helps fund our research, provide trusted information for families, and brings together experts to improve treatment, care and outcomes. Together, we can achieve more.
