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.

Why I'm running the London marathon 2027

Tuesday 14th Jul
When entering the London marathon 2027, it wasn't just about ticking something off my bucket list. It was about running with purpose and doing something that truly means a lot to me. 

Running a marathon seems like one of those really impossible physical and mental challenges taking on the 26.6 miles, pushing your body to the limit. However for me it is not about the finishing time or the medal I will receive at the end. It's about being able to make a difference. 

Several of my family members have been effected by cancer in the past but the most recent and most heart breaking one is my Dad being diagnosed with a stage 4 brain tumour in April 2026. 

Hearing any family member or friend being diagnosed with any form of cancer is awful but hearing your Dad has cancer has felt like the world has come crashing down. Seeing someone who has always looked after you, poorly has been the hardest thing to watch and I do not wish it on anybody. 

This being said, it has inspired me to make a difference. 

Over the last few months, I've often wondered how different the world may be if cancer research had been further ahead and what more could be done. If families like mine didn't have to experience heartbreak every single day. 

That's why I have chosen to support the World Cancer research fund. 

Their work goes beyond treating people with cancer. They are dedicated into researching what causes cancer, researching different medicines and looking into various scientific research into the disease. In the hope to make a difference to peoples lives who are living with cancer. 

Even if my fundraising can contribute a small part into being able to change people's lives, it will be worth every single mile, blister, cramp and every challenge I may face ahead of the marathon! 

The marathon feels daunting at the moment but I am committed to give it my best for people living with cancer and especially my Dad! 

However big or small your donation may be I will be so appreciative of whatever you are able to give. It is going to a great cause and we will be one step closer to beating cancer and finding a cure for this horrible disease. 

I won't give up. 

Here is to the journey ahead, and making every step count!
