Our mission is to bring together the leukaemia community so we can find and fund the life-changing research that matters most. Together we can stop leukaemia devastating lives through research, awareness and advocacy.

Story

The first-ever marathon? Greek. The guy who ran the first one? Also Greek

...though, minor detail, he didn’t survive it. 😬

Luckily, I plan to finish this half-marathon in one piece (fingers crossed 🤞) while raising money for Leukaemia UK—an incredible charity working to fund life-saving research and improve the lives of those affected by leukaemia, together with my fellow Evercore colleagues.

Why Am I Doing This?

To support Leukaemia UK and their mission to change the odds for leukaemia patients...

... and to honor my ancestors, who literally invented running for no good reason.

What’s in It for You?

The satisfaction of supporting an amazing cause.

The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see me voluntarily suffer.

The knowledge that your donation might make me run slightly faster (or at least not fake an injury halfway through).

How Can You Help?

🙏 Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.
