Story

Too many times I've already been in contact with cancer myself and too many times people around me have as well.

On 25th of August 2024 I ran 71 miles as I set out to do nearly a year before. A lot of things did not go as planned, which makes this an extra special achievement in my mind.

I did this challenge because I was inspired by the remarkable recovery of the partner of a colleague from the insurance industry. They have been through hell and back because of cancer and he ran the London marathon in 2023 to aid his recovery. He could not choose his charity for the London marathon, so I've decided to do the running for him for the charity of their choosing. I hope you will join me with a donation.

Note from the charity:

At Penny Brohn UK we support anyone affected by cancer.

Our holistic approach to helping people live well with cancer - The Bristol Whole Life Approach - gives anyone affected by cancer the practical, emotional and social support they need to improve their quality of life and to manage the fear and uncertainty that a cancer diagnosis may bring.

With your support we can provide more live changing support to people who need our help the most.
