Story

On Sunday 27th April 2025 Katie and I will be running the London Marathon for 2 specific charities close to our hearts, Brain Tumour Research & Children with Cancer

We will run this in remembrance of loved ones in particular our beloved Father Peter whom we lost 2 years ago to a stage 4 brain tumour. We are also running for those whom are still fighting the battle which one of those courageous people is our Cousin Brydie.

Peter fought a short but courageous 10 week battle after being diagnosed with grade 4 Glioblastoma brain tumour, leaving a hole in our hearts and life's.

Alongside Brain Tumours, we all know of someone who's child is fighting a battle against cancer, or who has lost a child to cancer.

Putting ourselves through the hard work and pain of a marathon is nothing compared to the pain and heartache many people go through who are affected by brain tumours and cancer. Thinking of those that are in pain everyday both physically and in their hearts.

With several half marathons under our belt its time to take on a tougher challenge and help make a difference for those life's lost, touched and affected.

So please do support us, and more importantly Children with Cancer and Brain Tumour Research, in our quest to drag our "4 legs" up the Mall on the 27th of April. We have set a high, aspirational target, so any donation, however big or small, would be massively appreciated.

Brain Tumour Research is the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK.

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer… yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. This is unacceptable!

Children with Cancer

There are approximately 70 potential life years lost on average when a child dies of cancer compared to 14 potential life years lost for adults. Brain cancer represents 26% of total childhood cancer deaths while leukemia accounts for 28%.

Big love and thanks for your support.

Katie & Natalie
