Story

I am taking on the challenge of the London Marathon 2026 for Teenage Cancer Trust. The Marathon is more than just a physical challenge for me—it’s a chance to make a real difference. I’ve chosen to run in support of Teenage Cancer Trust because no young person should have to face cancer alone.

Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words you have cancer.

Cancer is hard enough at any age, but for teenagers and young adults, it can be especially isolating. It hits at a time when life should be about discovering independence, building friendships, and chasing dreams. Teenage Cancer Trust provides the crucial specialist care and emotional support that helps young people with cancer face the toughest times with dignity, strength, and hope.

Teenage Cancer Trust funds specialist nurses, youth support teams and hospital units within the NHS to provide the very best care and support during treatment and beyond, making sure cancer doesn't stop young people living their lives.

They're the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need.

I’m proud to run every mile knowing that it will help fund this life-changing work. I’m not just running for a medal—I’m running for every young person whose life has been turned upside down by cancer.

Please support me in this journey & together, we can help give teenagers facing cancer the care they need, and the future they deserve.
