I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October to raise money for Macmillan and the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

Like so many people, cancer has directly affected my family and my friends. Macmillan provide essential support and help to people diagnosed with cancer and their loved ones. Their services are needed more than ever.

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.
