Hello everyone!

I will be running the London Marathon in April 2026 to raise money for Prostate Cancer Research — a cause that is incredibly close to my heart.

As a doctor working with patients who have prostate cancer both in clinical and academic settings, I have seen firsthand how far we have come through research, and how much more we still need to do.

That is why I am lacing up my trainers and taking on 26.2 miles!

Every donation, big or small, helps support our vital research and brings us closer to a future where no one loses a loved one to prostate cancer.

Here are my pledges:

1. If you decide to donate, please leave the name of your favourite song in the comments, and I will add it to my marathon playlist! Your song will quite literally keep me going - I will be listening to it somewhere along the course, so you will be running with me in spirit!

2. Dedicate a Mile: Donate £100 or more and I will dedicate one of the marathon miles to you (or someone you would like me to run for).

3. Guess My Finish Time: Add your prediction in the comments - closest guess wins bragging rights (and maybe a small post-race surprise!).

And ... please spread the word! Every step I take will be for the thousands of patients and families affected by prostate cancer.

Thank you so much for your support — whether you donate, share, or just send encouragement my way, it all makes a huge difference.

Let’s make every mile count! 💪

A big hug and heartfelt thanks to each of you for being part of my journey!

Francesco
