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.

Running for Cancer Prevention: My 2026 Marathon Mission
Wednesday 23rd JulHi everyone 👋
I’m so excited to officially say that I’ll be running the 2026 London Marathon for the World Cancer Research Fund.
This incredible charity works to prevent cancer through research, education, and public health support. Their focus is on helping people live healthier lives and reducing cancer risk through diet, lifestyle, and science-backed advice — and I’m so proud to be running in support of their mission.
Running 26.2 miles is no small challenge, but it’s one I’m fully committed to. I’ve previously completed the London marathon once before — so I know how tough, but how rewarding, this journey can be.
To take part, I need to raise £2,750 — and I’ll be doing lots of different events to reach that target.
I’ll be updating this blog regularly with how training is going, what events are coming up, and how the fundraising is tracking. I’d be so grateful if you could support me — even a small donation makes a big difference 💜
Thank you for taking the time to read about my fundraising and for being part of this journey with me.
