Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know I managed to haul myself around Brighton Marathon last year.

This year it’s London. My life has changed completely after watching my son fight cancer. 

I cannot settle unless I’m raising awareness or funds for charities who help children and families going through the hell of cancer.

Please help me raise more awareness and funds for Clic Sargent by giving a little towards such a good cause. Even if you just share my story I would be so happy.

I have no idea what the future holds and my son continues to have regular scans which petrify me.

By running this marathon I feel I can do a little something to help others.

Being a father to a little boy who has had to suffer cancer is horrid because all you want to do is help and the feeling of being completely helpless is crap. I had to put my faith in the process and hope.

My son has faced more than I’ve ever faced and I admire him and other children who fight cancer.
