Run 100 Miles in October 2026

I’m running 100 Miles in October for Young Lives vs Cancer.

I’ll be running 100 Miles in October, from the 1st to the 31st, 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. 


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.

Run Dad Run — Young Lives vs Cancer


This October, I'm taking on the Young Lives vs Cancer Run Challenge as part of Team Run Dad Run.


As a teacher, I've seen firsthand how devastating cancer can be for young people and their families. It's a reason this cause matters so much to me.


Young Lives vs Cancer supports children, young people, and families through cancer, from diagnosis and treatment through to the long road afterwards. They're there for the practical, financial, and emotional support that families need when a child is diagnosed.


Every mile I run is for them. Any sponsorship, big or small, helps fund that support.


Thank you for backing me on this one.
