Kieran's 75km ultra for PLANETS

Kieran Stanley-Hirst is raising money for PLANETS Cancer Charity
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

London 2 Brighton Ultra Challenge 2025 · 24 May 2025 to 25 May 2025 ·

PLANETS ethos is based around two fundamental principles: Firstly, supporting our patients and their families by working together as a “whole team” with the doctors, nurses and other medical staff using the motivation of fundraising alongside our patients to help them fight cancer through the positive energy that this camaraderie creates. Secondly, we use the money that has been raised to provide the “icing on the cake“ by funding things that the NHS otherwise could not afford and stimulating innovation in cancer care through research and the introduction of new treatments. PLANETS is more than just another local cancer charity, it is a motivating and unifying force that is changing the way that we approach the fight against cancer across the central south coast of England. Our aim is not just to save lives but also to enrich them in the process by helping the “whole team” to focus together on our shared goals.

Story

On 24th May, my Dad and I will be taking part in the London 2 Brighton Challenge, running 75km / 47 miles from Sutton to Brighton. It will be the furthest that I've ever run / walked, and I hope to run the full distance if my body lets me.

I thought this would also be a good opportunity to raise money for PLANETS Cancer Charity, which helps patients with pancreatic, liver, colorectal, gastric, oesophageal and neuroendocrine cancers. Its charitable activities are focused mainly on funding patient support groups, innovative treatments and research.

PLANETS is particularly important to me because of the support it provided to my cousin Adam and his family after he was diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumours. Adam sadly passed away in May 2019, so I am fundraising in his memory to help continue PLANETS' patient support activities and further cancer research.

Thanks so much for donating!
