Why World Cancer Research Fund?
Every day around 1,100 people will hear the words ‘you have cancer’. Over 420 of these cases could have been prevented, that’s a staggering 155,000 people every year. World Cancer Research Fund, are passionate about reducing this number.
As part of an international network of charities, they’ve been funding life-saving research, influencing global health policy and informing the public since 1982.
While society continues to search for a cure, their prevention and survival work helps people to live longer, healthier, and happier lives – free from the devastating effects of cancer. The money I'm raising plays a huge part in keeping this going.

Please sponsor me for a great cause
Friday 7th Aug As part of my slightly crazy idea of trying to run all of the major marathon series, I am running the first two of these, one in Chicago in October 2026, and the second the London Marathon in April 2027. I have decided to do this for this great charity, World Cancer Research Fund, as I'm sure we all have been or know friends and family affected by cancer. Any sponsorship is hugely appreciated, thank you very much. Chris. ShareThank you to my Sponsors

The courses seem far safer than your usual choices, but the world is your oyster once you’ve ticked off the majors. And as they have one in Oz, you can always go back to that hostel in Sydney to reminisce 😉
