My Story

As many of you will know I lost my amazing Dad in 2017 to lung cancer. The Roy Castle lung foundation were a source of support in the days and weeks after Dad's diagnosis and do tireless work to support those living with lung cancer. 

The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the leading UK lung cancer charity dedicated to helping everyone affected by the disease.

Since 1990, when the charity was set up by Professor Ray Donnelly, they have funded millions of pounds of essential lung cancer research, looking for ways to detect the disease as early as possible and save lives.

They support everyone affected by lung cancer – from diagnosis, through treatment, living with the disease and end of life care. They raise awareness, prevent future generations from getting it and challenge the misconceptions of lung cancer. They do all this so those diagnosed can live well with lung cancer for as long as possible. 

So any donations you can make big or small will make an incredible difference. I'm looking forward to taking on the London Marathon again and running for Dad and for everyone affected by this disease.

My wonderful Mum is also taking on a challenge to raise vital funds too! She and her friends will be walking 20miles. Thank you Mum! 

thank you,

Claire & Lesley
