In memory of
Katya Batchelor
20th Apr 1975 - 12th Jun 2024
Katya Batchelor died in June, aged just 49. She was a beloved wife to Duncan, and a loving mother to Anna and Sasha. Katya was perfectly fit and healthy - she ate healthily, she had no bad habits, she exercised, she did everything right in life. She had no symptoms and everything in life was perfect - until the end of March. In April she was diagnosed with bowel cancer, and by 12th June she was dead. Her death, and her illness, was incredibly sudden. We are deeply affected by her loss. Everything has changed incredibly suddenly. She did not want to die at this age; she had so much more life to look forward to. We want to take this opportunity to make a difference for other people and to achieve some good, and to help make sure that others can be protected from the same fate. Duncan, Anna and Sasha are running the Tonbridge Half Marathon on 29th September 2024. We will be joined by other friends to form Team Katya, running to raise money for Cancer Research. What matters is not the half marathon, or any particular athletic challenge or event. What matters is how well we can all contribute to raise money for Cancer Research to help other people, and to save others from this disease. We would like you to use your network to try to send this page as far and wide as is possible. We would like to raise donations from as many people as possible around the world to make a difference to help others, in memory of Katya. Please donate on this page. Help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.

Bowel cancer
Over the past 40 years there's been dramatic progress in tackling bowel cancer and half of people diagnosed will now survive for at least 10 years. But with bowel cancer still claiming around 43 lives each day, more research still needs to be done. Help Cancer Research UK find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease.
