Cancer is something that impacts us all. We all know somebody who has battled Cancer. For some that journey ends in sadness, for others, triumph, and for all, courage.

I'm running my first marathon in memory of an amazing guy called Wes. He's my father-in-law, and I was fortunate to know him. He was a great guy loved by so many, none more than his family. It would also be an honour to run a mile in memory of somebody you know who has been impacted by cancer. So please donate whatever you're able to afford and leave a message telling me who you're remembering through your donation.

In thanks for Wes' life I'm raising money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Trust, who provide treatment and care for more than 40,000 cancer patients every year, along with their pioneering research to find a cure.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you for your support. It means so much to me. Chris Parker
