In May 2022 my stepbrother Ashwyn Lall was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of cancer.

Ashwyn spent 2.5 years going through various chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments, and always kept smiling and fighting.

Sadly the treatments weren’t enough and Ashwyn spent his last 5 weeks in end of life care at Thames Hospice before passing away on 7th October.

I can’t thank Thames Hospice and their staff enough for how well they looked after Ash. He was never left alone, and whilst he didn’t have his health, he always had his dignity.

On 23rd March, Liam Wynne and I will be running Reading Half Marathon in memory of Ashwyn, and to raise money for Thames Hospice so that more people can have the same care and dignity that Ash had when their time comes.

We would really appreciate any donations you might be able to make. Also, Invesco where I work will match donations that you make. As a sweetener, if we reach £3000 of donations before Saturday 22nd, I promise to completely shave my head!

Thank you very much
