Ethans Army

Run 100 Miles in October 2026

We’re running 100 Miles in October for Young Lives vs Cancer.

We’ll be running 100 Miles from 1st to 31st October to help raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer.

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. With practical and emotional support. With someone always there. A social worker that gets it.
With places to stay near hospitals. With campaigning to make health, welfare and social care work better. To champion, to problem solve and bring about change. 


But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today.

Just a £26 donation could fund an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker, ensuring children, young people and families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey.

Thank you for your support.

More awareness of blood cancer and for GP and hospital to take a young person / young adult seriously when they have clearly not been well for 3 months and passing it off as muscle pain due to age or body structure or infection
