London Landmarks Half Marathon 2021 · 1 August 2021 ·

We are moving further, faster to help everyone affected by a brain tumour

Story

In August 2017, my younger brother was diagnosed with diffuse midline glioma, (DMG). Upon diagnosis, Josh was told he had 12-18 months left to live his life at the age of 15. Despite this, Josh has remained strong, determined and motivated to fight and has not given up. I am so proud to call him my brother and will always remember how strong and resilient he has been throughout this journey. 

I am running the London Landmark half marathon on the 23rd May 2021 for you Josh and to also raise awareness about his diagnosis. The survival rate has remained at 0% and treatment has had a lack of funding, therefore limited research has been carried out. It would mean so much to me and my family if you would be so generous to donate, share and support for a cause that has become so close to my heart. 

Thank you!
