Story
Hi everyone 😊
I’m Nicolò, a physiotherapist and an amateur runner.
1. THE START 🌱
I started running during the Covid period. Over time, it became part of my routine and something I continued to build on. I’ve taken part in cancer-support fundraising before, and from now on I’ll be focusing specifically on supporting children with cancer.
2. CWC UK
🍀 I’ve been very fortunate in my life: cancer has not touched my close family or friends. I know that’s not something to take for granted.
Many children and their families face challenges and uncertainty that no child should ever have to experience. As a physiotherapist, I see every day how deeply health shapes our lives, our futures, and our ability to live fully as children, adults, friends, partners, brothers and sisters.
That’s why I want to use the journey and visibility that running gives me to raise awareness and support for them.
3. THE FIRST MARATHON 🤸♂️
🇮🇹 On November 9th 2025, I ran my first marathon in Ravenna (Italy). The response was incredible: in just one week, we raised more than £700 for the cause!
Following this, I applied for the World Marathon Majors but was unsuccessful in the ballots. Children with Cancer UK then kindly selected me for a charity place in the Berlin Marathon, a trust and opportunity I’m truly grateful for!
4. THE NEXT ONES 🌏
🇩🇪 I’ll now be training, preparing, and fundraising for the Berlin Marathon on September 27th, 2026. This race represents the next step in an ongoing journey, not just a single event, with the aim of providing long-term support for children and families affected by cancer.
5. HOW YOU CAN HELP 💪
There are two equally valuable ways to support this journey.
1️⃣ The first is by donating, either as a one-off or through a small monthly contribution. Even a few pounds/euros given regularly can make a meaningful difference over time.
2️⃣ The second is by sharing this page. Spreading awareness is just as important and just as meaningful. By sharing, you help this cause reach new people and give others the chance to contribute and that impact is powerful.
Whether you choose to give, to share, or to do both, please know that each action is equally important, valuable, and deeply appreciated 🙏
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Nicolò 😊
