I have been offered the privilege of running the 2026 TCS London Marathon (UK) with my charity partner, The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR). As many of you know I was entered to run last year’s London Marathon in April, 2025 but had to withdraw due to a stress fracture in my leg. This race is a bucket list event for me and to run for such an important cause makes it even more meaningful. Every one of us has been touched by Cancer. My wife’s brother (Frank) lost his long battle with cancer in December 2024 and a dear friend, Allison Kearley succumbed to a glioblastoma October 2024 after a long and heroic fight. Allison’s life was extended and her quality of life improved due to the specific targeted therapy pioneered by ICR and with your help, they can continue to research these groundbreaking treatments and much more. I am proudly running in honor and memory of Allison and Frank and I'm asking for your support once again. For those of you who donated last year, thank you so much. With 2026 being a new year I hope you will consider giving once again and help me smash past my goal of $20,000.
