Story

I'm taking on the 2020 virtual Virgin Money London Marathon and the 2021 London marathon to change the lives of people affected by sarcoma. Support me to help us find better treatments, ensure people get the care they need, and fund expert information and support for anyone who needs it.Thank you for visiting my page.

My dad was diagnosed with Sarcoma in 2003 he had a 1.5 stone tumour that had previously gone undiagnosed and was swiftly removed...fast forward the years and he had to have further surgery in 2012 for a second tumour. Sadly, Sarcoma didn’t leave this time and came back straight away. In December 2018 we got the news that the cancer was terminal. The hard work and research into Sarcoma means dad is still here today with chemotherapy and drugs that weren’t available a few years ago (never mind 2003!). We are so grateful for every day we get to spend as a family due to the pioneering research going into sarcomas and if I can raise some money to help other families stay together longer then every second of the marathon is worth it.

Thank you so much for your support!
