Story

Very sadly, Mum died at Christmas 2025 after a very short battle with cancer. She had primary bowel cancer that metastasised to affect the liver & spine.

First symptoms to her passing away was a mere 6 weeks and only 3 from a diagnosis. Clearly, this has been devastating for all her family and friends.

Mum raised money for CRUK during her life and I am continuing this with a little run. Mum was born at home with the house in the shadow of the Tottenham Hotspur ground. Over 3 days I will be running from her birthplace back to the family home in Nailsea. The 156 miles equates to a double marathon each day so this will likely become very hard work.

Anyone who wants to join me for section, however short, give me a shout.

Please help me to raise money for research into prognosis methods and treatment to help avoid other families having to go through what we have.

Thank you.
