Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Cancer has touched the lives of countless individuals, including my own. I've witnessed firsthand the devastating impact this disease can have on families and communities. That's why I'm determined to make a difference.

In 2025, this middle aged, non runner is taking on the challenge of running 12 marathons in 12 months to raise funds for cancer research and to support organisations that provide vital services to patients and their families. I'm running these marathons to honour the memory of loved ones who have battled cancer, and to inspire hope for those currently fighting the disease.

By joining me on this journey, you're not just supporting a personal challenge; you're contributing to a cause that has the power to save lives. Your donation will help fund groundbreaking research, provide essential support services, and bring hope to those affected by cancer.

Specifically, your donations will support:

• Cancer Research UK: Funding world-class research to help beat cancer sooner.

• Prostate Cancer UK: Funding vital research and raising awareness of prostate cancer.

• Naomi House: Offering care and support to life-limited and life-threatened children and young adults.

• St Michael's Hospice: Providing expert care and support to people with life-limiting illnesses.

How you can help:

• Sponsor me: Every penny counts. Your generosity will fuel my journey and directly impact cancer research and patient support.

• Cheer me on: Whether it's at the side of a course or from the comfort of your armchair, your support will be invaluable.

• Get inspired: Use my challenge as a motivator to get more active yourself. Maybe start with a brisk walk around the block, ditch the lift and take the stairs or join me!

• Share: Spread the word and inspire others to join this cause.

Each of the charities is an extremely worthy cause in it’s own way. If you’re having difficulty deciding where your support should go, I’d like to keep your donations as equal as possible while providing an opportunity for the charities to reclaim Gift Aid.

Together, we can make a significant impact. I hope that you will consider helping me to raise an incredible amount.
