On 15th October 2023, our mum, Colette, sadly passed away just three months after being diagnosed with bowel cancer. On 27th April, on what would have been her 69th birthday, we - Marc, Paul and Katy - will each be running the 2025 London Marathon in her memory.

We are not marathon runners (!), but taking on this challenge feels like a meaningful way to honour our mum and to support a fantastic cause. Our mum faced her illness with incredible strength, positivity and grace. Her acceptance and courage inspired everyone around her, and we are determined to do something that reflects the resilience and love she showed us every day.

We're raising money for Bowel Cancer UK, a charity dedicated to improving early diagnosis, funding life-saving researched, and providing support to patients and families affected by this disease. Please consider sponsoring us and donating to Bowel Cancer UK. Every contribution, big or small, will make a real difference in advancing research and supporting those who need it most.

Thank you for your support. Every mile will be for our mum - for her love, kindness and unwavering strength - and for everyone affected by bowel cancer.
