Royal Parks Half Marathon 2023 · 8 October 2023 ·

We are a children's cancer charity funding research into finding more targeted and less harsh treatments for the childhood solid tumour, Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). We have invested in 13 RMS research projects at leading UK institutions. We also support the children and families impacted by the disease.

Story

I will be taking part in a corporate fundraiser on behalf of Alice's Arc to fundraise for childhood cancer research. I shall be joining a team of fellow Third Bridge runners to participate in the Royal Parks Half Marathon...

Anyone who follows me on Strava or has seen my 2km time will know this will certainly be a challenge and any donations will be greatly received as they spur me on to the finish!

For those interested in Alice's Arc and what is does:

Alice’s Arc was inspired by Alice's journey with cancer. She was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma at age 3 in March 2015. She had 20 months of chemotherapy at GOSH, UK and proton radiation in the US. Alice spent a year cancer free but it returned in February 2018. She underwent 6 months of chemotherapy and a procedure known as AMORE in Amsterdam involving surgery and brachytherapy. Alice spent another year clear before tumours were found in her abdomen and pelvis in July 2019. There were no options left. Alice died, aged 7, in October 2019.

Alice’s Arc is dedicated to finding a cure and kinder, more targeted treatments for those affected by the childhood cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma. By working with major research institutions and leading paediatric oncology hospitals, we aim to fund research that contributes to advancing our scientific understanding of the biology of rhabdomyosarcoma and translates this knowledge into the identification of new drugs and pioneering treatments via clinical trials. This research is crucial in order to improve long term survival outcomes and to minimise long-term side effects.
