Cancer is relentess. But so are we. 

Running for Cancer Research

I will be once again taking part in the Winter Run in London next February in honour of my dad, Giuseppe, who tragically passed away a little over a year ago at such a young age, after a 4 year battle with lung cancer. I continue to be inspired by his strength and positivity through it all and try my best to make him proud every day. I started running a year ago for this event specifically and have continued ever since, so I am looking forward to taking part again. 
This year I will be raising funds and running alongside my friend Mattia, who also has a personal connection to this cause. 

Mattia Caprin:
I will be taking part in the Cancer Research Winter Run to support a cause that is close to me as my mother, Maria, fought breast cancer a few years ago, but is fortunately doing well after a year of intensive treatment. Watching her go through those battles changed the way I see strength and resilience, and running this race is my way of honouring her journey and standing with all the families who have been affected by cancer. 

Every step of these 10km is a reminder of how crucial research is, as well as the funds that make it possible. By joining this event we want to contribute, even in a small way, to a future where more people get the chance to beat cancer. 
We are extremely grateful to everyone that decides to donate to our page and helps us raise vital funds for such a good cause.

Thank you,

Francesca & Mattia

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.
