Walking The Marsden March for My Dad❤️

I’m walking the Marsden March for The Royal Marsden, a place that now holds a piece of my heart forever.


As some of you know, my dad, my best friend, my hero, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in August 2025. He has glioblastoma, the most common yet most aggressive form of brain cancer. We’ve had to face the heartbreaking reality that Dad won’t get through this, but The Royal Marsden gave him the best possible chance, the best care, and the most dignity and hope anyone could ask for. They tried everything, and for that I will be grateful for the rest of my life.


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 extraordinary; they give hope where there shouldn’t be any, strength when you feel empty, and time that you never forget.


This walk won’t be easy for me. With mild cerebral palsy, it’ll be a challenge, but nothing compared to what my dad has faced. If there’s anything I can do to help fund research, support the Marsden, or give another family more precious time, then I’ll walk every step with all the strength I have.


I’m walking for him.

I’m walking for the love we share.

I’m walking because he’s my best friend, and I want 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 🫶🏽
