Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page and please share as wide as possible.

Running the London Marathon has been a long-held ambition of mine, not so much Abi’s but she is going to give it a go 😊 We are proud to be running in support of the life-changing work that Teenage Cancer Trust does for young people affected by cancer.

Having witnessed the impact of cancer on families, it is heartbreaking to think of young people having to deal with such a daunting challenge as cancer on top of all the hurdles being a teenager brings.

In the Uk around 2,300 young people (aged 15-24)are diagnosed with cancer annually. That’s approximately 1 in 360. As the parents of 5 sons, we know how fortunate we are to not have been personally affected by cancer, but we understand that many families are not as lucky. We want to make a difference for families who are facing the unthinkable and supporting the Teenage cancer trust allows us to do that.

We have set a target of £2,200 to help fund this vital work. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving—they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, your money goes directly to the charity, making it the most efficient way to contribute.

We invite you to join us in this important mission. Every donation counts and brings us one step closer to supporting those who need it most. Thank you for your generosity and support.
