My Story

In Danny the Champion of the World, Roald Dahl wrote that “everyone deserves a dad who’s sparky.” I’ve been lucky enough to have exactly that! Over the past few years, my wonderful dad has faced the full shebang of cancer treatment with strength, humour, and so much grace. Watching him navigate it all has been a quiet lesson in resilience, and a reminder of how much love and courage can carry us through. Next Saturday (eek!) I’m taking on my first-ever half-marathon, and a trail run, no less, to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. Too many people I love, and too many my friends love, have been touched by this disease. If we can help even a little to change that, I think that’s something truly worth running for :-)

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.
