Many of us are impacted by cancer in our lives be it taking loved ones both friends and family or giving us battle scars as we fight it and come through the other side of it - worn, scarred but here.

I would like to give something back to an organisation that does great things against such a cruel disease I therefore have signed up for the Brighton Marathon in April and The Royal Marsden South Down Challenge 26 mile hike in May to raise some funds for The Royal Marsden. It would be amazing if you could donate a little something to raise some funds for this cause close to my heart.

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. We ensure The Royal Marsden’s world-leading nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world.

From funding state-of-the-art equipment and groundbreaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, we will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
