I am running the London marathon to honour my sister Melanie, who was an oncologist nurse and passed away due to cancer in 2016.

She was my sister, a mother, daughter, sister, cousin and friend to many. She was fiercely loyal, wickedly hilarious and the glue that kept our family together. We love and miss her every day.

Guys Cancer Charity is not just a guys charity. They help support the NHS staff and exceptional healthcare provided to patients battling cancer.

£10 could help run a virtual support group session, enabling patients and carers to share their experiences of cancer from the comfort of their own home. £50 could help provide a comforting care package for someone receiving end of life care, helping to alleviate symptoms and soothe fears. £150 could provide expert welfare and benefits advice for a patient experiencing financial hardship, giving them the freedom to focus on their recovery. £350 can help invest in the latest surgical robotic technology, so expert surgeons can work with greater accuracy and send patients home to their families sooner.

Thank you so much for your support.
