Emma's fundraiser for Chordoma UK

Emma Cracknell is raising money for Chordoma UK

I'll be running 26.2 miles on a miserable treadmill!

Chordoma UK was established in 2013 as a special fundraising initiative incorporated into UCL Cancer Institute Research Trust. Chordoma is a rare, relentless and difficult to treat bone cancer that occurs in the head and spine in people of all ages regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. During 2017 Chordoma UK became an independent UK registered charity and exists to (a) promote and provide financial support to encourage primary and peripheral research projects into chordoma and research projects that might benefit the understanding of, and treatments, therapies, and cures for, chordoma being undertaken at bona-fide research establishments within the United Kingdom and elsewhere. (b) provide patient support services and other support resources for chordoma sufferers and those connected with or related to chordoma sufferers (c) promote awareness into chordoma within the patient, healthcare, and clinician communities. (e) support individuals and organisations whose aim is to raise funds for Chordoma UK and (f) provide financial assistance for other charities or bodies as are in any way concerned with research into chordoma and other related cancers or with the furtherance of awareness of chordoma.

Story

One of the loveliest people I've ever met has been diagnosed with an extremely rare cancer, and she has had great support from Chordoma UK.

Fleur has dedicated her adult life to caring for others, and now it's time for others to care for her!

So, after a bit of a think, I decided to do something a little bonkers to help raise funds for this amazing organisation, supporting this amazing woman.....

A MARATHON ON A TREADMILL!! 🥺🥺

Running a marathon is hard enough generally, but I figured it wasn't actually hard enough to make it worthy of your kind donations. So let's make it crazy mad hard, and do it on the DREADMILL.

The date is yet to be agreed by the gym, so as soon as it's set, I will update everyone. But in the meantime... training has commenced. Yikes!

This will be a miserable experience, so please dig deep!
