This will be Lee's 6th Marathon but will be joined for the first time by his wife Mary-Anne for her first ever Marathon.
We will be running to raise fund for Young Lives Vrs Cancer, a charity close to our hearts.
Quite a few years back now Lee's cousin, Jessica was diagnosed with T-Cell lymphoma. she was around 6 at the time. This now 14 years old and has the all clear but Jessica is one of the lucky ones. We saw first hand what Cancer can do to rip a hole through families and so many that don't make it.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer life becomes full of fear, for them and their family. Fear of treatment, but also of families being torn apart, overwhelming money worries, of having nowhere to turn, no one to talk to.
At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you.
