Mary's fundraiser for Ochre - The Oesophageal Cancer Charity

Mary Ritchie is raising money for Ochre - The Oesophageal Cancer Charity
In memory of James Ritchie, Ally Noble, Diane Doig

Amsterdam Marathon 2026 · 18 October 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

OCHRE works to raise awareness of oesophageal cancer, a hard to treat, less survivable cancer. We fund research to support better outcomes. We work with health services and policy makers to improve understanding of the dangers of heartburn and the need for earlier diagnosis which can save lives.

Story

In the last few years I've lost my dad, my uncle and my friend to oesophageal cancer as well as hearing about several other friends and family's diagnoses. The time felt right to attempt another marathon (2 actually) and raise money and awareness.

I have entered the Strathearn Marathon on 14th June and the Amsterdam Marathon on 18th October, one slightly more undulating than the other!
