As some of you may know, last year I battled cancer. Thankfully I’m fine now and much of that is down to the Teenage Cancer Trust. They look after cancer patients from ages 16-24 and made the ordeal so much easier for me.

Thats why this year I’ve decided to do the Great North Run and raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. So if you’d like to see a fat lad struggle to run 13 mile then please donate!

Cancer kills more young people than any other illness in the UK. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only charity dedicated to providing expert care and support from the moment they hear the word ‘cancer’. They treat them as young people first, cancer patients second and everything they do aims to improve their quality of life and chances of survival. At the moment, for every young person Teenage Cancer Trust help, there's another they can't. Help us reach more young people with cancer by donating towards my Great North Run challenge
