Hello everyone!

On 15th November 2026, Benjamin and Simon Taylor will be taking on the Alton Towers Half Marathon to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Running 13.1 miles is definitely going to be a challenge for both of us, but knowing that we’re doing it for such an important cause gives us even more reason to push ourselves when things get difficult.

Cancer is something that has affected so many people and so many families. Behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, friends, and loved ones who are all going through something that no one should ever have to face. We want to use this challenge to remember and show our support for everyone who has been directly affected by cancer, especially the young people and families supported by Teenage Cancer Trust.

Teenage Cancer Trust does such incredible work. They support young people when they need it most, helping them through what can be an incredibly frightening and lonely time. The work they do goes far beyond treating cancer — they help young people feel supported, understood and less alone throughout their journey.

That’s why we’re asking for your help.

Any donation, no matter how small, could make a genuine difference. We completely understand that times can be difficult and not everyone is in a position to donate, but if you are able to spare even a few pounds, we would be incredibly grateful.

Every donation will give us even more motivation to keep going on the day, especially during those final miles when our legs are telling us to stop!

This is something we’re both really looking forward to, but more importantly, we’re proud to be able to take on this challenge for a cause that means so much to so many people including ourselves.

If you can donate, share our fundraising page, or simply support us and wish us luck, thank you. It genuinely means more than you know.

Let’s see how much we can raise together for this great cause!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for supporting us on our journey.
