The 40^th London Marathon has been cancelled for non-elite athletes. Instead there will be a virtual event on 4^th October 2020 and participates can run anywhere across the world. 

I am delighted to be running in my constituency of Blackpool where there is no better backdrop. Running the marathon along the promenade past our famous landmarks including Blackpool Tower, our 3 piers and the Pleasure Beach will be a special occasion.

I am running for 2 fantastic charities including The Swallows Head & Neck Cancer Support Group.

The Swallows Charity supports all people affected by head and neck cancers including patients, carers, friends or relatives. The patient is the focus for support, help and signposting, however the role of carers and others is vital too, with their own support needs often overlooked. It is their intention for every person affected by head and neck cancer to have access to support at the point they need it and by the method off their choice on a 24/7 basis. This could be by telephone, email or social media.
