Running the London Marathon for Macmillan Cancer Support

Kevin Abbott is raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 ·

Toolstation is proud to be partnering Macmillan for a fifth year. So far we have raised over £2.5 million for Macmillan Cancer Support so that they can provide physical, financial and emotional support to the millions of people that count on them.

Story

Hi, my name is Kevin and I only started running in August 2024. Originally it was with the hope to improve both my physical and mental health, but I never imagined how much I would fall in love hitting the streets and putting miles under my feet! Running has saved me, and my long term goal was to run a major marathon, so to be given the chance to run the London Marathon is a dream come true. I will be representing Toolstation, where I am a store manager, and raising money on behalf of our long term charity partner, Macmillan Cancer Support, and in particular supporting the work the Macmillan Cancer Nurses do.

It costs £33 to power a Macmillan nursing hour - time they use to help people living with cancer, and their families, receive medical, practical, and emotional support. My mum passed away this year after a long battle with breast cancer, and the Macmillan nurses were nothing short of remarkable in giving support and advice to both her, and my dad, in the most difficult of times.

So please, give what you can, and wish me luck for the 26th April 2026.
