I am honoured to be running the Edinburgh Marathon 2026 for Action Kidney Cancer in memory of my beloved dad, a month before the tenth anniversary of his passing.

Our family accepted donations at my dad's funeral for the Renal Cancer Research Fund, this work has been absorbed and taken to new lengths by Action Kidney Cancer.

We strive to improve the lives of those affected by kidney cancer by advocating for the best possible clinical care and treatment, raising awareness and providing vital support and information to anyone affected by kidney cancer.
