Why I’m Raising Money for Military vs Cancer

Cancer has hit my family again and again, harder than anyone should ever have to endure.

I lost my mum to cancer in 2017. That kind of loss doesn’t soften with time; it stays with you, shaping the way you see life, love, and the people you hold close.

Then in 2025, my wife was diagnosed with triple‑negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive and unforgiving forms of the disease. Hearing those words felt like reliving a nightmare I thought I had already survived. Watching her fight through treatment, surgery, exhaustion, fear, and recovery has shown me what real strength looks like. She is still healing, still rebuilding, still proving every day what courage truly is.

And now my gran has been diagnosed with lung cancer.

Three generations, three battles, one family refusing to give up.

Cancer doesn’t wait for the right moment; it doesn’t care how much you have already suffered. It arrives without warning and turns your world upside down. But the one thing that makes a difference, the thing that keeps people going, is support. The charities, the communities, the people who step in when everything feels impossible.

That is why I am raising money for Military vs Cancer.

They help families like mine, they support people through the darkest moments of their lives, and they give hope, guidance, and strength when everything else feels like it is falling apart.

To honour my mum, to stand beside my wife, to support my gran, and to help every family fighting their own battle, I am taking on a challenge that scares me and motivates me in equal measure.

I will be running 100 miles on a treadmill in 24 hours.

My plan is to run 4.1 miles every hour, which gives me a small window each hour to eat, change clothes, reset, and, if I am lucky, grab a few minutes of sleep when the night hours hit. And if I feel strong enough, I will push to get the 100 miles done as fast as I can.

This challenge is meant to hurt, it is meant to test me, it is meant to reflect, in the smallest possible way, the relentless fight that cancer forces on people every single day.

If you can donate, share, or simply spread the word, it genuinely means more than you know. Every contribution helps someone feel less alone in the hardest moments of their life.

Thank you for reading, for supporting, and for standing with us.
