On the 27th April I’m running the London Marathon (ahhhh!) The marathon marks over a year since we lost Steve, my Mums wonderful partner to cancer.

Steve was cared for and treated at The Royal Marsden Hospital for 6 months before he very sadly passed away a year after he was diagnosed.

Steve himself was a hugely generous and kind person. He always wanted to help people and volunteered for multiple charities which didnt stop when he was unwell. I know he would be so proud of me to raise money for a charity that contributed to caring for him.

Your donations would be hugely appreciated to help more people and of course will spur me on to get over that finish line!
