Story

So to mark the year of my 40th Birthday I have decided to take part in the London Marathon. not being an avid runner and probably a little over weight this is going to be a massive challenge for myself. As always ill be supporting YLVC Olivia's Funs and running with some mates who have embarked on several other challenges with me.

Olivia's Fund was set up by Chris and his family his story is below for you to have a read of, please donate what ever you can big or small. Everything counts and will help us towards our target.

January 2020, our world was turned upside down when my 7 Year old daughter Olivia went into hospital for a routine appendix removal, shortly after my wife and myself were given the news that the appendix was fine and that she has Burkitts lymphoma a large mass which was growing fast in her stomach. After being transferred to Addenbrookes for full diagnosis then being told the news our lifes would change forever, 6 months of chemotherapy on then Olivia got to ring the bell to signal the end of treatment ... but seeing not just Olivia but other children on this ward has opened my eyes to this horrible disease and I feel I need to give something back! Young Lives vs Cancer were there for the whole family and helped by having someone there to talk to when things got tough.
