5K for 50 days · 17 September 2024

The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, we're doing whatever it takes to help more people with cancer get the best care the UK has to offer, whoever and wherever they are. To donate, volunteer, raise money or campaign with us, call 0300 1000 200 or visit macmillan.org.uk

Story

I'm raising money for MacMillan Cancer Research this Autumn in memory of my beloved cousin, Gaynor Allen. Gaynor lost her battle with cancer in August, but throughout her illness, she radiated the same positivity she always did in good health.

In the Spring, she raised over £20,000 for the Ruth Strauss Foundation, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. Gaynor remains a role model for kindness in our often busy lives.

To honor her legacy, I will be running 5K every day for 50 days starting on September 17th. You can support MacMillan Cancer Research by donating whatever you can through the link to my Just Giving page below.

Like popular music, my fitness peaked in the late Eighties, so this challenge is going to test my legs and my resolve. Your support would mean the world to me.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe, JustGiving - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.
