In 2016, my father suffered from a life-threatening sarcoma stomach tumour.

On the 12th of November 2020, my father was diagnosed with a glioblastoma - a grade 4 brain cancer. He has received and will continue to receive invaluable help from The Brain Tumour Charity, not only via the research they do, but also the support groups they give him access to, allowing him to speak to people going through similar adversities among many other things.

In support of this, my friends Patrick Tyrrell, Freddie Barlow, Ned Gordon and I will be running the Northumberland Marathon on the 27th of February.
