In late May 2023 my Mum was diagnosed with secondary cancer. Found in various places along her spine she was soon after diagnosed with cancer in her bowel and liver. The cancer was eventually discovered to be Neuroendocrine Cancer. This cancer is unpredictable, unforgiving and massively underfunded. 7 weeks after first discovering the cancer my mum died.

My mum was magic. She loved life, loved her family and embraced any opportunity to spend time with them. She has 7 grandchildren who adored her, 3 daughters who love her so much and a husband of nearly 50yrs, who would do anything for my mum.

I have been lucky enough to receive a ballot place for the London Marathon in April 2025. As soon as I knew I had a place I knew I also had to raise money and awareness for this charity and run in memory of my wonderful mum whom we miss so so much.

About the charity...
