Story

Ive decided I am going to run the 2016 London marathon for two of my best friends Jack  Sanders and Phil Warren

Teenage Cancer Trust is a cancer care and support charity in the UK that exists to improve the cancer experience of young people aged 13-24.

Without this incredible charity, Jack and Phil's journeys would of been unbearable. Teenage Cancer Trust helped them massively throughout their journeys, they helped shape Jack and his positive attitude towards life and were there for Phil when he needed them the most. They believe that a teenager shouldn't stop being a teenager just because they have cancer. 

Jack passed away in March from a brain tumour aged just 22. Since he died we have raised over 20k for Teenage Cancer Trust and I want to continue to raise money for this incredible charity. 

Thankfully Phil is now 100% Cancer free and is living proof that Cancer can be beaten. Thanks to Teenage Cancer Trust Phil had support and help throughout his experience and the Teenage Cancer Trust ward did everything they could to make his time as comfortable for him as possible. 

The support provided makes a huge difference to peoples lives, so please dig deep, be generous and donate as much as you can.
