I am taking part in the virtual London Marathon on 21st April with 50 of my colleagues. Having survived my cancer last year, it's time to give something back to the various charities who supported me during my fight.

We will be walking the route in different parts of the country. I'll be following the route from our office in Barnwood, Gloucester. The details from the team are below.

Claranet UK take on The London Marathon, My Way this April (21st).

Inspired by Customer Success Director Chris Wilson and his drive to give back and support those going through similar battles he endured, our team will be taking on the 26.2 miles across the country to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Since launching our challenge other employees have also shared their experiences with Cancer, either personally or with their loved ones.

The story of cancer is changing. The UK population is ageing. As the risk of developing cancer increases with age, cancer incidence will increase. Research suggests that 1 in 2 people born in the UK after 1960 will receive a cancer diagnosis. Improvements in treatment and diagnosis are now allowing people to live longer after their diagnosis.

Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them.
