Why I’m Running: My Dad, My Warrior

I’m taking part in the Cancer Research run this year for one main reason -my dad

Hearing the news of his kidney cancer diagnoses didn’t feel real at first. It was scary and confusing and something that you’d hope to never happen to anyone, let alone happen to your own family.

My strong dad is facing every single part of it with so much strength. Even on the days where things are really hard, he just keeps going. He didn’t give up and seeing that made me realise just how strong he really is and how I’m so proud of him.

That’s why I’m running- for him, for anyone who has had to deal with cancer and for more research, more answers and more chances for people like my dad to keep fighting.

Every step I take in this run is for him and for all the families who have been through this. If you’re able to donate or even just share the link, it would mean so much. 

I am taking on the Cancer Research UK London Winter Run 2026.

Please donate to my page to help me raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK and support me as I train for a 10k on 15th February 2026. 

Nearly 1 in 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime*. All of us can support the research that will beat it. 

Thank you for supporting me! Together we are beating cancer.
