My Story

Next year, on Sunday, April 26th, I'll be running my first ever London Marathon to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer UK. This charity is incredibly close to mine and my family's hearts. 

I'm undertaking this challenge primarily in memory of my Dad. Sixteen years ago, he passed away at the age of 42 when I was just 16.

London is where we lived, and being able to take on such a huge challenge in the very city we called home, and where he worked, is an opportunity I couldn't pass up. Pancreatic Cancer UK does amazing, vital work and often doesn't receive the awareness it deserves. To do this on their behalf is a true honour.

I would be incredibly grateful for any donation you might consider, no matter how big or small, to help me reach my fundraising goal for this crucial cause.

Finding out you have pancreatic cancer is shattering.

It is the deadliest common cancer. The brutal reality is that diagnosis comes far too late for most people. Half of people die within three months of diagnosis. So, families are left with only hope to hang on to.

But hope is not enough. The disease must be detected sooner.

And it can be.

Thanks to the work of Pancreatic Cancer UK’s dedicated team of researchers, a simple test to detect the cancer earlier is within reach. It just needs more funding.

With people running, cheering and raising funds to support this research, together we can save as many lives as runners in this great race.

We will give it our all. We won’t give up. And we will cross that finish line.
