5 Marathons In 5 Days for Teens Unite Fighting Cancer

Ross Testa is raising money for Teens Unite Fighting Cancer

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 ·

Teens Unite supports young people fighting cancer to live their best life, while others search for a cure. We inspire young people to recognise their potential now and in the future and empower them to live every moment to the full.

Story

From 22–26 April I’ll be running five marathons in five consecutive days finishing with the London Marathon for Teens Unite Fighting Cancer.

I’m running in support of Teens Unite Fighting Cancer the only UK charity providing ongoing support specifically for 13–24-year-olds during and after treatment. Much of the battle is mental rebuilding confidence reconnecting socially and learning how to live fully again. Teens Unite creates life-changing moments through activities events and residential stays. My fundraising is supporting something incredibly special. Teens Unite is creating the first dedicated retreat in England for young people diagnosed with cancer based in Broxbourne.

I was introduced to the amazing charity last year by my friend Louis Rose who fundraised for them. Louis sadly passed away last year and this challenge is also a way to honour him and the passion he had for helping others.

Running five marathons in five days will be my toughest challenge yet but it’s nothing compared to what these young people face.

If you’re able to donate share or support in any way it would mean the world. Every contribution helps give young people affected by cancer confidence connection and hope.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
