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.

100 Miles for Hope
Tuesday 22nd SepI’m taking on the challenge of walking 100 miles throughout October to raise money for Young Lives vs Cancer.
I work in clinical research, with a particular focus on oncology, and through my work I have had the privilege of seeing the cancer journey from a very personal perspective. I’ve seen how patients and their families hold on to every possible source of hope — a new treatment, a new drug, or the opportunity to take part in a clinical trial — sometimes simply because it gives them one more reason to believe that there may be another option.
What touches me most is getting to know the people behind the diagnosis: their stories, their families, their fears, their strength, and the uncertainty they live with. The more deeply I become involved in their journeys, the more I realise that cancer is never just a medical condition — it affects an entire person and everyone who loves them.
This challenge is my small way of turning that personal connection into something positive. Every mile I walk and every donation made will help support young people and their families through some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
Thank you so much for supporting me and helping me reach my goal. ❤️
