Story
Every 15 minutes, someone in the UK dies of lung cancer. Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the only UK charity wholly dedicated to defeating lung cancer. It is a responsibility we take very seriously. Lung cancer is the UKs biggest cancer killer- in both men and women. It kills more people than breast, colo-rectal and prostate cancer combined yet receives only 6% of research funding. This is simply not good enough and we should all expect better.'The London Marathon is our biggest fundraiser of the year. We are set to have over 70 runners taking part in 2022, with each person raising a whopping £2,200 for the charity. As you can imagine, this is not an easy task! This is months of fundraising, organising events, bag packs, raffles and bake sales. Months of running in the dark, rain, snow and mud. It's months of blisters, black toe nails and niggling injuries. Everyone who runs this iconic race is a super hero to us.' - RCLCF
