I'm taking part in The Big Marsden Trek

As some of you are aware, I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2025. I am very much on the road to recovery now and wanted to challenge myself along this road. 

This walk involves a full marathon of 26.2 miles around tough terrain in Surrey which includes Box Hill. 

I’m supporting The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. By donating to my page, their nurses, doctors, and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments. Together, we can save the lives of cancer patients everywhere. Please support me today.

All that walking to the pub and back clearly has been very valuable training! Focus on that first Peroni at 26m and you’ll be fine…. Great cause Matt, well done,.M.

Good luck Matt! Hopefully some fresh socks, well-timed cuppa’s and visualisation of something nice to drink at the finish will help get you through the miles!
