My Story

I lost a very special family friend Toby, who was only 21 years old from cancer. He battled throughout most of his life and we all remember him as such an inspirational young man. If he can go through all that he went through then I can certianly endure a little bit of discomfort to run a marathon! 

Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”.

Cancer doesn’t just devastate their health. It threatens to take away everything they care about – their identity, their independence, and their dreams.

Teenage Cancer Trust funds specialist nurses, youth support teams and hospital units within the NHS to provide the very best care and support during treatment and beyond, making sure cancer doesn’t stop young people living their lives.

They’re the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need.
