Winter Warriors for Jacqueline

Winter Run 2025

Cancer is relentess. But so are we. 

Man Down

It is with much regret that due to illness I am going to have to pull out of tomorrows CRUK WinterRun. I picked up a respiratory virus a week ago and it has really knocked the stuffing out of me. 

Knowing running was now unlikely, I have tried to get up and out walking; but this has also been really tough - requiring frequent stops and the speed of a 95 year old, before the debilitating hacking coughs start again.

This run means a lot to me already and grew more important with the passing of Jacq last October. And sadly just just week, I lost another dear friend my mate Nick Wykes. It’s has been quite overwhelming, frustrating feeling so inadequate to step up. But there are two silver linings.

One, my friend Ben Adam-Harris will be running tomorrow and if I know the man, he will nail a fabulous time as well as enjoy everything the event has to offer.

Two, at a point in the near future once well again, I will complete the 10k. This means a lot and the fundraising you wonderful people have blessed on Ben and I will help so many others who are living with cancer today.

I’m sorry I couldn’t run for you tomorrow. Go Ben!

Iain & Ben are fundraising in memory of Jacqueline Thomas and to beat cancer!

We are taking on the Cancer Research UK London Winter Run 2025 for Cancer Research UK. 

Ben and Iain will be running in memory of our lovely friend Jacqueline who passed in October to a rare type of cancer. She was a real character, the best of us and she is missed. We’re running for Matthew, F & A and also in memory of friends loved ones who are fighting, have fought and have lost their fight with cancer.

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 23rd February 2025. 

Nearly 1 in 2 of us 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.
