Story

The research funded in Miranda’s memory is raising crucial awareness of this rare and secretive cancer that can strike anyone at any age; the research seeks to innovate cutting edge treatment possibilities and improve outcomes for those living with the most aggressive forms of tumour.

My own story

I'm Billy, a final-year Business student at Edinburgh University. Currently navigating the Army interview process, I've always wanted to challenge myself with a marathon, and doing it for a good cause makes it even better.

I'm running the Marrakech Marathon to honour a close family friend, Miranda, she was an incredible athlete who faced neuroendocrine cancer courageously. Her story deeply moved me, and I want to contribute to the ongoing research that aims to improve outcomes for those facing aggressive forms of tumours.

Join me by supporting Miranda's cause on her Just Giving Page. Let's make a meaningful impact together.
