Story
Message from Sophia:
I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 12th October 2025 to raise money for Alice's Arc in memory of Margaret Adcock who sadly passed away in 2023 aged 18.
Maggie was a favourite nursery friend of my neice, Olivia Bartlett, before they moved into different school years. Their friendship was rekindled just before Maggie received her devastating diagnosis and when I heard her story, I felt honoured to be asked to run in memory of beautiful Maggie.
Please donate if you can and help us support one of Maggie’s wishes to stop this awful disease.
Alice's Arc is a children's cancer charity dedicated to finding a cure and kinder, more targeted treatments for the childhood cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma. Working in conjunction with major UK cancer research institutions such as the Institute of Cancer Research, Wellcome Sanger, University of Birmingham and Great Ormond Street Hospital to achieve this.
The children and families impacted by rhabdomyosarcoma are at the heart of what we do. We also provide support to families at any stage of their journey.
