So why do we want to fundraise for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity?

Ever since Lizzie's diagnosis with Stage 4 Bowel Cancer in 2018, the Royal Marsden Hospital has played a critical role in both Lizzie and Andrew's lives. We were always grateful of being treated at a world-leading cancer hospital that always provided us with expert and compassionate care.

Following Lizzie's sad passing in November 2023 Andrew is determined to give back so that the patients who experience a similar journey can continue to be offered the most up-to-date treatments and benefit from continued life saving research. The intention is that the money raised goes towards specific colorectal research and surgeries.

The event

In order to honour Lizzie's incredible legacy, her fighting spirit & her all-round warmth & determination to keep going, the "Team 26.2 runners" of Andrew, Carla and Lauren are going to be running the Paris Marathon on Sunday 13th April 2025

The Charity

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money solely to support The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. We ensure our nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world.

From funding state-of-the-art equipment and groundbreaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, we will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
