Cancer is relentess. But so are we. 

As a result of your unfathomable benevolence...

In a quite stunning turn of events, you've managed to help me smash the £300 mark.. thank you so much!

I'm going to give £400 a go, as once again, I'm aware of some extra donations still to come, and I actually have it on good authority that cancer hates the number 400, so any help getting there would be amazing!

As a result of your unbelievable generosity...

Wow - £175 donated already!

Sending out a massive thanks to everyone that has donated.. you must have really wanted that video compliment!

As a result of your unbelievable generosity, coupled with the fact that I know there are some more donations to come, I'm going to up my target to £250.

Although I'm unsure of the exact science, I'm pretty sure it's better to kick cancers ass to the tune of £250 as opposed to £175...

Let's go!

As a result of my idiotic decision...

As many of you know, I’m not a big fan of running. 

It will, therefore, come as a surprise to absolutely nobody that I have decided to take part in the Cancer Research 10k Winter Run.

 

As many of you also know, I’m not a big fan of the cold.

It will, therefore, come as a surprise to absolutely nobody that I have decided to run said 10k in the depths of February. 

 

The event is on 23/02/25, which means just 19 days to go… music to the ears of a man that has done little to no preparation or training. 

 

Given that I am tackling the bitter, BITTER, winter cold to perform this small act of bravery/miracle, I figured I’d make it extra worthwhile by setting up an actual fundraising page!

 

My goal is to raise £175 – all of which will go directly to Cancer Research UK. 

All jokes aside, it is a fantastic cause, so if you’re able to spare a couple of quid (or, you know, £174.99ish), I’d be beyond grateful. 

 

Any donations will be hugely appreciated!

In return, I will be taking part in an immediate post-run video interview in which I personally compliment YOU whilst being horrendously out of breath. 

(FAQs: Yes, you can opt out of receiving your personal compliment if you email me. No, it will not be posted on social media – I will share it privately).


Cheers!
