Fundraisers: Phil Clark

Event: London Marathon 2022

Date of the event: Sunday 2nd October

I applied to run the London Marathon originally to set myself a challenge and take part in what I believe is the best day of the year in the city I grew up in. I received a spot on the ballot and so whether or not to run for a charity was up to me.

I was originally supposed to run on 26th April 2020 but Covid had other ideas, so this has been a long time coming…

‘Something To Look Forward To’ is a charity run by a close friend of mine. The work that she does in memory of her mother for those suffering from cancer and their families is not only award winning but truly inspirational. Of course, we must focus on prevention of and cures for cancer, but too many times, sadly that is not an option. In those moments it is time with family that is most powerful and provides more support, love and positivity than anything else. It was a no brainier for me to use my opportunity to support such amazing work and help a few more families get that time together.
