After my Dad ran the London Marathon in 2017 for CwC UK I was inspired. It was a challenge I'd always said to myself I'd love to do one day but seeing a mid-50's, relatively fit but non-runner pushing himself physically and mentally to the absolute limit raising £10's of £1000s of pounds for this awe-inspiring charity meant I had no choice but to sign up and do it myself!

I know I can't match his fundraising efforts but I can match his heart, desire and drive to complete the greatest challenge of my life. If I can hit my goal along the way - or even exceed it! - that would be amazing. Every penny helps so please dig deep and drop a few quid in the CwC coffers. It will make such a difference on the Big Day knowing you're out there thinking of me and the charity.

Almost 4,000 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer every year in the UK. That’s ten every day. Children with Cancer UK is the leading national children’s charity dedicated to the fight against childhood cancer. We fund life-saving research into the causes, prevention and treatment of childhood cancer and we work to protect young lives through essential welfare programmes.
