Hello there, I will be running 10km every day in July for young lives v cancer, this is going to be the hardest fundraising challenge I have ever done, especially balancing it with a full time job and 10hr shifts.

But I am much more fortunate than young people and families who are living or have lived with cancer, young lives v cancer helped myself and my friends during school when our good friend Jack was diagnosed with cancer, they also supported jack’s wonderful family through the hardest time of their life

I would like to ask for album suggestions to listen to and guests to run with, I will be listening to a different album everyday and ranking the songs, all will be posted on my instagram sam.fishwick and occasionally on Facebook. Thanks in advance

Jack’s Story

It was April 2018 when our world was turned upside down in a heartbeat. Our boy Jack, aged just 15, was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer that would ultimately lead to his passing only 6 months later on 26 October 2018.

We were devastated but throughout Jack’s illness our wonderful Young Lives vs Cancer Social Worker played such an important role in supporting both Jack and his family and friends. We will be forever grateful and will constantly keep fundraising to support such a worthy cause.

Throughout Jack’s illness, momentum started to gather for #TeamJack. This is a group consisting of family, friends & colleagues, basically anyone who feels a connection with Jack’s story. There is no doubt in my mind that together we are stronger and this is proven by the fact that more and more people want to get involved and raise money for #TeamJack.

Thank you to everyone who has raised money for Jack’s charities, to date we have raised over £100k which has been split between the charities.”
