Dear Friends,

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be running the New York Marathon, finally earning my Six Star Medal – a milestone for marathoners worldwide! But this will also be my last road marathon. As I grow older, the miles have gotten tougher, but I’m pushing through one final time for two causes that are incredibly close to my heart: both battling cancer, brain tumours and mitigating their damaging effects.

Every step I take in this race is for those battling cancer. Your support will make a huge difference, and together, we can help fund vital research and life-saving treatments and help those who suffer during their recovery.

Some of you have been with me, supporting my running and fundraising efforts since 2012 so let’s cross this finish line together – donate to one or both of my chosen charities today!

The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust inspires young people aged 8-24 to believe in a brighter future living through and beyond cancer. For many young people simply picking up where they left off before their diagnosis just isn’t possible. So, when treatment ends the Trust’s work begins and they have a particular focus on sailing trips and outdoor activities to achieve this
