We are moving further, faster to help everyone affected by a brain tumour

Story

In August 2017 my best friend was diagnosed with diffuse midline glioma, (DMG). Upon diagnosis, Josh was told he had 12-18 months left to live his life at the age of 15. Despite this, Josh defied the odds remaining strong, courageous and resilient until this cruel brain tumour took him from us in Feb 2021. I had the privilege of gaining not only an amazing friendship, but also a brotherhood that will stand for eternity.  

On the 1st August 2021 I will be running the London Landmark Half Marathon for Josh and to raise awareness for his diagnosis. The survival rate has remained at 0% and treatment has had a lack of funding, causing research to be limited. It would mean so much to me and his family if you could be so kind to donate, share and support Josh's cause, one that has become so personal.

Thank you!
