This September marks 10 years, a whole decade, since I was diagnosed and treated for a Wilms tumour (a type of kidney cancer found in children) when I was two years old.

To celebrate and say thank you, I’ll be hiking a half marathon in the Peak District with two of my oldest and closest friends, Freddie and Megs. We’re raising money to fund more research to help more children and young people go on to live their best lives, like me.

We’ll be training hard because although it’s been ten years we will still only be 12 years old and we’ve never walked (and definitely haven’t hiked), that far before! We’d really appreciate any support you are able to give.

Thank you.

George, Freddie & Megs
