My Story

Thank you for visiting my page. I am walking my third Shine marathon in London on 22nd September and this time it is to help in the fight against lung cancer. My Nan sadly lost her battle with cancer last year so I will be walking every mile with the added motivation of knowing that she is smiling proudly looking down on me. This is such a great event and I am pleased to be able to give something back to the charity who are helping so many families like my own. Who needs sleep when you can help to walk all over cancer through the night amongst the bright lights of London. I have uploaded a few photos from my previous Shine event. I welcome your suggestions for this year's outfit. Each year Cancer Research UK’s scientists get closer to beating cancer, and they’ve helped double survival rates in the last 40 years. But we can’t stop there. Only with our continued support can they turn this research into breakthroughs that save millions of lives. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now. Donating through this page is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with Cancer Research UK. Please donate if you can no matter how big or small as every penny counts in the fight against cancer. Thank you in advance. Andy xx

CAUSE

Lung cancer

Each year more than 43,500 people are diagnosed with lung cancer in the UK. We urgently need to drive progress so that more people survive their disease. Cancer Research UK is at the forefront in lung cancer research and is funding various projects to tackle the disease head on. This includes the TRACERx study, Cancer Research UK’s largest investment into lung cancer to date. This study has already transformed our understanding of how lung cancer evolves and is continuing to shed light on how to prevent, detect and treat the disease.
