London Marathon 2025 · 27 April 2025 ·
On Sunday 27th April 2025 Natalie and I will be running the London Marathon for 2 specific charities close to our hearts, Brain Tumour Research & Children with Cancer.
We will run this in remembrance of our loved ones.
- Our beloved Father Peter whom we lost 2 years ago. Dad (Pete) fought a short but courageous 10 week battle after being diagnosed with grade 4 Glioblastoma brain tumour, leaving a hole in our hearts and life's.
- Our fun, adventurous and forever young Cousin Brydie who very sadly passed away on 21/02/2025 aged 38 leaving behind 2 young children Jack and Isla followng a 10 month courageous battle.
- We are also running for all those whom are still fighting the battle and this terrible disease and our sincere thoughts and love are with all those people and their families.
Alongside Brain Tumours, we all know of someone who's child is fighting a battle against cancer, or who has lost a child to cancer.
Putting ourselves through the hard work and pain of a marathon is nothing compared to the pain and heartache many people go through who are affected by brain tumours and cancer. Thinking of those that are in pain everyday both physically and in their hearts.
With several half marathons under our belt its time to take on a tougher challenge and help make a difference for those life's lost, touched and affected.
So please do support us, and more importantly Children with Cancer and Brain Tumour Research, in our quest to drag our "4 legs" up the Mall on the 27th of April. We have set a high, aspirational target, so any donation, however big or small, would be massively appreciated.
Big love and thanks for your support.
Katie & Natalie

There are approximately 70 potential life years lost on average when a child dies of cancer compared to 14 potential life years lost for adults. Brain cancer represents 26% of total childhood cancer deaths while leukemia accounts for 28%.
Our vision is a world where every child and young person survives cancer.
For 35 years, Children with Cancer UK has funded much needed research into the causes of childhood cancers, and the development of better, kinder treatments as well as funding initiatives that support children and their families through cancer treatment and beyond.
Our work has contributed significantly to a marked increase in childhood cancer survival rates and improved quality of life for patients.
