52 Half Marathons in 2025 · 31 December 2025

Each year 450 UK children are diagnosed with brain cancer. Among these there is a tumour so aggressive that there is NO effective treatment or a CURE - Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma or DIPG. Responsible for 80% of all brain tumour death we raise vital research funds to give hope to DIPG families.

Story

Inspired by Billy’s story and the incredible work being done to fight Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), Tommy and Ollie have decided to take on a challenge that pushes their limits to help raise awareness and funds for this vital cause.

In 2025, we are going to attempt to run 52 half marathons—one for every week of the year! While we aim to stick to one a week, I know there will be weeks where we'll need to double up due to injuries, illness, or life getting in the way.

This challenge is our way of honoring Billy and helping all the future children battling DIPG. We'’ve set a £5,000 fundraising target, and with your support, we're determined to smash it!

Every penny raised will go directly to this life-changing cause. Please follow our journey, cheer us on, and, if you’re able, donate to help us make a difference. Together, we can create hope for families facing this devastating disease.

Let’s make every step count!
