We launched Little Hero in 2019 after our little boy Will died following a 9 month battle with an aggressive version of a brain tumour called Medulloblastoma. Despite the devastating impact this had on our family, we were inspired by Will and his amazing fight and wanted to continue his effort to support other families. We have the following charitable aims: To fund critically needed research into new treatments for childhood brain tumours. To support other UK families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis. Our efforts have two main programme in flight: We are creating ‘Will’s Woodland’! A retreat in Devon for families on a childhood cancer journey to be able to take a free break in safety and seclusion away from a hospital setting to find time to just be as a family. This is amazingly important as these vital months of life are often dominated by a hospital environment. We are funding INSTINCT 2, a new 5 year research programme into developing new treatments into childhood brain tumours led from Newcastle university. This is the major UK effort in discovering new potential clinical treatments and comes at a critical time where new genetically tailored or immunotherapy treatments are due to emerge alongside more traditional (and sadly only partly effective) chemo/radiotherapy.

Story

I'm running the London Landmark’s half marathon in April to raise money for Little Hero - a charity which helps families who have been effected by childhood cancer.

Over the past year, someone close to me has been battling Myeloma, a form of cancer that affects the bone marrow. The physical side effects of treatment have been tough, but what's been even harder is the isolation and caution needed to reduce the risk of infection. Knowing children are going through this same experience and the trauma of treatment is heartbreaking. That's why I'm raising money for Little Hero, a charity that provides families affected by childhood cancer with a chance to escape to a woodland retreat and take a break from the struggles of treatment.

To do my part, I've committed to running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in 2024. As someone who's never run more than 5km before, it's going to be a steep learning curve, but I'm determined to push myself.

Please consider supporting me in this effort by making a donation, every little bit helps ❤️
