I am extremely blessed to be able to say I am running the London Marathon 2024 for the amazing ICR charity who make amazing discoveries to defeat cancer. This is a cause extremely close to my own and many of our hearts. With 1 in 2 people estimated to be affected by cancer at some point in their lives, the work of the ICR is invaluable in this fight. After having to defer last years place due to an unforeseen hospital stay I am back and determined to raise funds for this amazing cause.

I am a keen runner however this is will be my first marathon and a truly humbling (& scary) experience. Feel free to keep up to date with my training via the Strava link below - and wish me luck!

Here’s how your donation could help the ICR take the fight to cancer:

£1,000 could buy a magnifying lens for a cutting-edge microscope, absolutely essential for cancer cure research in the lab.

£500 could pay for a small liquid nitrogen tank to preserve cells at the right temperature, making sure that important findings aren’t lost.

£350 could fund a student’s tuition fees for a month as they help explore new breakthroughs in cancer research.

£250 could pay for a special fridge to store samples and materials for the hundreds of experiments needed to research cancer.

£150 could buy a vortex machine to mix liquids in the lab to the standard required for experiments to be effective.

£125 could buy antibodies, used to identify proteins on cancer cells, an essential part of the research.

£50 could pay for special cell culture liquid to grow cancer cells in the lab for testing.

Even £10 could help by paying for 40 microscope slides, used for analysing cells during the research.

Please donate whatever you can afford, everything is so hugely appreciated – every donation takes us one step closer to discovering new treatments.
