My Story
In April 2026, we WILL be lacing up our running shoes, and running 26.2 miles through the streets of London, to raise vital funds for Children with Cancer UK.! After a failed attempt to make it to the start line last year due to us both sustaining stress fractures during training! It's been a very long road to get us to the start line!
As many of you know, Isabella is a childhood cancer survivor, In November 2000, at only 16 weeks old, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma, a rare and agressive cancer of the sympathetic nervous system. When Isabella was diagnosed, she had a large abdominal primary tumour, it was wrapped around her aorta and in her spine, she also had numerous secondaries in her liver and in her skin, and the prognosis was not good. The very fact that she is able to lace up her shoes and stand alongside her mum on the start line of the London Marathon is nothing short of a miracle.
Before Isabella was diagnosed, childhood cancer was something we didn't really think about. Amongst the many concerns that come along with parenting I don't think anyone really thinks that their child might get cancer, but for many familes unfortunately it does happen. and not all of them are as lucky as we were. A childhood cancer diagnosis is a truly devastating event, something no family prepares for, and has such an enormous impact on every aspect of family life.
And so we are running to raise vital funds for Children with Cancer UK, a charity who funds childhood cancer research projects here in the UK with the goal that every child and young person survives cancer.
We have set ourselves an ambitious fundraising target of £2,500 and we hope that the money we raise will help Children with Cancer UK to fund research to improve the diagnosis, treatment and long-term care of children with cancer.
Our hope is that in the future, there will be more strong healthy childhood cancer survivors, like Isabella, lacing up their running shoes, and preparing to run 26.2 with their parents, to continue raising funds but also in celebration of the long road they have travelled together!
Please give what you can!
