My Story

In 2025 I am running the London marathon for Macmillan Cancer Support in memory of Paul. 

Not only is it a fantastic cause to raise money for, it is one which unfortunately come close to home for us as a family. 

When Paul was diagnosed in 2023 Macmillan were outstanding throughout his cancer battle and journey.  Therefore it is only right that I run the 26.2 miles for them. 

Those of you who personally know me know that our relationship was a solidified brotherhood. Paul was not only my brother, he was my best mate and someone who I looked up to for as long as I can remember.

Even despite multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and enough bad news to sink a ship, he took it all in his stride and refused to bow down to the awful disease which serves no purpose in life. He put up a fight until the very end and he made us so proud as a family. 

Pauls courage, determination, fight, positivity, strength and will power has been nothing short of admirable and inspired me to run the marathon.

I will be extremely grateful for anything donated and I would appreciate if you could share this far and wide for me. 

Training is underway and you can follow my journey on the separate account below which has been specifically created for the marathon journey.

There will be some fundraisers along the way and some other challenges to keep things fun and interesting!

Peace and love, Ryan
