I am running the London Marathon because...

Cancer and its devastating impact was laid on my doorstep just over eighteen months ago when one of my best friends, Ross Gilchrist, was sadly diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. Ross was very young to receive this diagnosis, and despite fighting incredibly hard, he lost this battle in February of this year.

I feel incredibly motivated to raise money that will help others affected by this specific cancer, and of course, other forms of this awful disease.

Any support, big or small, would be greatly appreciated - link below

Thank you

Ross

Why World Cancer Research Fund?

Every day around 1,100 people will hear the words ‘you have cancer’. Over 420 of these cases could have been prevented, that’s a staggering 155,000 people every year. World Cancer Research Fund, are passionate about reducing this number.

As part of an international network of charities, they’ve been funding life-saving research, influencing global health policy and informing the public since 1982.

While society continues to search for a cure, their prevention and survival work helps people to live longer, healthier, and happier lives – free from the devastating effects of cancer. The money I'm raising plays a huge part in keeping this going.
