Walking The Marsden March for My Dad🤍
I’m walking the Marsden March for The Royal Marsden, a place that will forever hold a piece of my heart.
As many of you know, my dad, Glenn, my best friend, my safe place, my rock, my hero and the person I went to for absolutely everything, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in August 2025. He had glioblastoma, the most common yet most aggressive form of brain cancer. After six months of fighting as hard as he possibly could, we lost him on Wednesday 4th February 2026.
He was a fighter right until the very end. He never stopped fighting and never gave up, not for a single minute. My dad always taught me to never give up, no matter how hard life gets, and he truly proved that this was something he would never do himself. Even when his body was tired, his spirit was not. The strength he showed throughout his illness was nothing short of extraordinary. I am so unbelievably proud of him, and I will carry that pride with me for the rest of my life.
We had to face the heartbreaking reality that this disease would take him from us, but The Royal Marsden gave him the very best chance, the very best care, and the most dignity and hope anyone could ask for. They tried everything they could. They supported him and they supported us. For that, I will be forever grateful.
I’m taking on this walk for him, and for every family who finds themselves in this same fight. The Royal Marsden’s nurses, doctors and researchers are truly extraordinary. They give hope where there shouldn’t be any, strength when you feel empty, and moments of time that become memories you hold onto forever.
This walk will be a challenge for me. With mild cerebral palsy, it won’t always be easy, but it is nothing compared to what my dad faced with such courage and determination. If there is anything I can do to help fund research, support the Marsden, or give another family more precious time, then I will walk every single step with all the strength I have.
I’m walking for him.
I’m walking for the love we share.
I’m walking to make him proud, now and always.
If you can, please support me today. Your donation, big or small, could help change someone’s story.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart🤍
