Dear Friends,

We are so pleased to announce that Josie is back training for London Marathon 2023 in support of Brain Tumour Research.

With original plans to run in 2020, Michael and Josie participated in the virtual London Marathon 2020; completing four laps of Pitsford Reservoir with support of their friends and family after Covid put a stop to the 2020 race.

Michael completed his London Marathon on October 3rd 2021, whilst Josie deferred her spot to due to pregnancy and then recovering after the birth of Alfie in January 2022.

She is excited to finally run again (somehow making it through training with a baby and running-pram) and we are eager to raise more money for the charity that is close to our hearts, in memory of our dear friend, Dan Lewis.

Please give what you can, it is so appreciated.


A note from Josie:

Brain Tumour Research is a charity very close to my heart. Brain tumours do not discriminate, and have torn through one of the most wonderful young couples I know.

Some of you may have met my friends Charlotte and Dan, or know of them through the fundraising that we have done in the past.
After initially being diagnosed with and recovering from a brain tumour in 2015, Dan’s illness became progressively worse over the year of 2019 and he sadly passed away, age 29, on Saturday 19th October 2019. We are all heartbroken for his family and partner, Charlotte - who also became Dan’s wife for the last 10 days of his life after an impromptu wedding at the hospice. He died peacefully and very much loved.

I, alongside my brother Mikey, would like to run in Dan’s memory and aim to raise £6000 for Brain Tumour Research to help fund continued research in an area of cancer where there are still so many unknowns and to help find a cure.

Thank you for all your support, every donation makes a difference.
