This challenge is so much more than a run for us—it’s a chance for seven family members, spread across the UK, to come together and support someone very special to us.

Our ‘Amazing Jan’ is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Like so many families, we’ve watched her face the challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis with incredible strength, resilience and her own wonderfully dark sense of humour. Somehow, even in the toughest moments, she still manages to make us all laugh in the most unfunny of circumstances—a gift that has helped carry not only her, but all of us, through some incredibly difficult days.

Throughout her journey, the charity Something To Look Forward To has been a real source of comfort and hope.

The charity provides people affected by cancer with donated gifts and experiences, giving them something positive to focus on during what can be an incredibly difficult time. Jan was fortunate enough to enjoy a wonderful trip away through the charity—an experience that gave her a chance to escape the appointments, treatments and worries for a little while, creating precious memories when they were needed most.

Now it’s our turn to give something back.

Together, the seven of us are lacing up our running shoes (with varying levels of enthusiasm and ability!) to raise as much money as we can so that more people facing cancer can experience the same kindness, support and moments of joy that mean so much to Jan.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help this incredible charity continue its work. For every £100 raised, they can provide nearly £300 worth of gifts and experiences to people who need them most.

If you’re able to support us, we’d be hugely grateful. Not only will you be helping an amazing cause, but you’ll also be giving us that extra motivation to keep putting one foot in front of the other on race day.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
