Story
Hi everyone, my name is Luke.
This coming year, I’ll be taking on the biggest physical and mental challenges of my life — all for my 4-year-old son, Jaxon.
In November 2025, our family’s world changed forever when Jaxon was diagnosed with Epithelioid Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of soft-tissue cancer that affects only a small number of children each year. Shortly after his diagnosis, Jaxon had to have his finger amputated and will now require ongoing monitoring into adulthood, as this type of cancer can sometimes return or spread later in life.
No child should ever have to face something like this, yet Jaxon has met every moment with courage, strength, and a spirit far beyond his years. He amazes us daily with his resilience, and my wife and I are incredibly proud to be his parents.
When your child is battling cancer, life instantly takes on a new meaning. So in 2026, I’m dedicating the entire year to raising awareness and funds for Sarcoma UK — in honour of Jaxon and every family facing these rare and devastating cancers.
MY 2026 CHALLENGES
• February — 100-mile ultra run
• April — London Marathon
• June — UK Three Peaks
• August — Ironman Leeds
• October — Manchester Half Marathon
Every mile, every step, every finish line is for my son. He didn’t choose this battle, but he faces it with a courage I learn from every single day.
Your support — whether through a donation or simply sharing this message — means the world to my family and to others affected by sarcoma. Every pound raised is a step closer to hope, progress, and change.
All funds raised will go directly to Sarcoma UK, supporting:
• Vital research into treatments and cures
• Patient and family support services
• Greater awareness and earlier diagnosis
• Resources that directly help families like ours
Thank you for standing with us during this incredibly difficult journey.
For Jaxon.
