Story

Yep, you haven't read that wrong! I am running the London Marathon in April 2024, in memory of my mum who passed away following her short battle with cancer in December 2022. The care and compassion she received from the amazing Marie Curie nurses during her final days was truly incredible. Now, I'm on a mission to give back and support families who are going through the same journey.

For a man who has never run further than 10km in my life - the only thing that will get me through the arduous training is the knowledge that the support I gain from your kind donations will really help make a difference. Join me in honoring my mum's legacy by donating to Marie Curie. Every donation is a step closer to providing the comfort, care and a glimmer of hope that we experienced and meant the world to me and my family.
