...Here we go again, after 2019’s experience I wanted to go again. I loved the whole experience and I’m going to do it much better. The atmosphere on the day is incredible and crossing the finish line was such a buzz but I left with regret knowing I could have done better. After a summer of feeling sorry for myself and strengthening that pie and pint arm it’s now go time again.

I was offered a place from 3 charities and after deliberating I chose Children with cancer, for the simple reason childhood is supposed to be a great time of your life and there is so many moments to be had that shape you, to have that taken away from you with a serious illness like cancer is very unfair, hard on the children and the ripple effect on the families going through it. My Nan died from cancer 2 years ago and my grandad currently has lung cancer, as hard as it is I can accept this as they’ve had a life and had some great experiences. I also had an auntie I never got the chance to meet as she died from cancer in her youth, I have been informed by my dad, uncle, nan and grandad and to me it seems very unfair.

This is me doing my bit to even up the score board.

At Children with Cancer UK we actively raise and invest money for vital specialist research to save the lives of every child with cancer and keep their family together.

Our vision is a world where every child diagnosed with cancer gets to ring their end of cancer treatment bell.
