On 21 April 2024, I will be running the London Marathon. I have been fortunate enough to get a standard place, however I’d like to still do my bit and raise some money for charity.

Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”. They will each need specialised nursing care and support to get them through it. The Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need – so no young person faces cancer alone.

You only get one chance at being young, and those few crucial years will shape the person you become – your relationships and career, your confidence and wellbeing, and your ability to pursue your dreams. Cancer can throw all of that off track.

The Teenage Cancer Trust makes sure young people have someone in their corner right from the start. Their nurses and youth workers walk with young people from diagnosis through every step of their treatment, and for up to two years afterwards, so that they can recover and live life to the full.

I know I have left it a bit late, but I would be immensely grateful for any donations - no matter how small.

Thank you!
