Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In July 2024, our fit and healthy son-in-law, Ian was diagnosed with testicular cancer and less than two weeks later, underwent surgery. All the post operative checks were clear and no further treatment is needed for the foreseeable future. The photo above shows Ian celebrating the good news with his favourite Costa hot chocolate, with all the trimmings! We’re so grateful for a positive outcome following a difficult and worrying time for Ian and his family, that we’ve secured a charity place at the 2025 London Landmarks Half Marathon so we can raise some money to give more men like Ian their ‘Costa’ moment.
