7 Ultra Marathons for 7 days · 26 February 2024
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the w/c 26th February I’ll be undertaking a challenge to raise money for Testicular Cancer UK. I’ll be running a ultra marathon (28.5 miles) each day for 7 days. This will accumulate to 200 miles across the week. Each of the 7 runs will have a different route and some of the runs will take place prior to be going to work.
‘The reason I have chosen Testicular cancer uk is because my best friend was affected by this disease and I have seen first hand, not only the impact it has had on his life but also the support and guidance this fantastic charity offered him during and after his battle.
It provided him with a support network through like minded survivors, information and knowledge that may ordinarily be difficult to gather through the NHS.
There are around 2,400 new cases diagnosed in the UK every year and the most common age group is males in their late twenties to early thirties. Through this challenge I want to raise awareness and raise the profile of this charity who provide talks in schools, colleges and other communities to teach young males how to properly check for any irregular lumps and bumps.’
Alongside this we want to raise the awareness of the disease by signposting symptoms, how to check and where to find advice
