Raising money for ALK Positive UK
In memory of Renee Bessell

ALK-positive lung cancer is a rare disease that often affects younger non-smokers, many with young children. It is usually diagnosed at Stage 4, when there is no cure. We support, empower and advocate for best practice to improve the overall survival and quality of life of patients across the UK.

Story

On Saturday, 25 October 2025, we will walk from Runnymede to Putney — with options from 5km to the full 50km — in loving memory of Renee Bessell, raising funds for ALK Positive Lung Cancer UK.

Renèe had a rare form of lung cancer called ALK Positive. Caused by a genetic mutation and unrelated to smoking, it most often affects young, healthy non-smokers, frequently women. Tragically, it is usually undetectable until it reaches Stage 4, when there is no cure.

Her husband, Ross, is leading this event to raise vital funds for the charity that supports ALK Positive patients and their families.

RSVP here.

If you can’t join the walk but would still like to help, you can donate using this link.
