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.
