My story

Hey this is Vik from @lift_and_•atte the fitness community. I’m running a 10km to raise awareness for brain cancer. I lost my dad suddenly in 2021 after he was diagnosed with stage 4, and it changed everything for our family.

Running has always been a big part of our lives mostly when we were little -  something we grew up doing together- taking part of run races.

This race is my way of remembering him and continuing the fitness legacy he passed on to us.

Brain cancer still needs so much more research and support. If you can donate, it would mean a lot — every bit helps and goes toward making a real difference for other families going through this.

Thank you for supporting and helping me honour my dad. 💙

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.
