London Marathon 2024 · 21 April 2024 ·

Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can get the support they need. There is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with our support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. We are there when it matters.

Story

Eleven years ago, Jamie Peacocks dad, Darryl Peacock, died from lung cancer aged 58.

The night before, JP was told that his dad only had hours to live, yet he turned out for Leeds against Wigan and was by far, our best player. It was remarkable that he even found the strength to turn up and play never mind play in a way suited to the Superman Jersey we wore that night.

That was JP in a nutshell, a picture of strength and commitment. He always "turned up", he was always "prepared" and gave "everything" he had every time. Virtues inspired no doubt by his dad.

JP Invited me to run the London Marathon with him this year, to raise money for the Wheatfields Hospice where Darryl spent his last few days alive.

This is my oppertunity to "prepare", "turn up", and attempt a PB (<3:16) running in memory of Darryl; who was himself a fantastic servant of Rugby league and the inspired dad of a real life Super Man.

Thank you for your support

JJB
