In three weeks time, our 4th XI Captain Jake Staples will be running the London Marathon and he details why he is doing it.

If you can donate I would be so appreciative as I know from first hand experience all the amazing things TCT do for young adults battling cancer.

As many of you know I am running the London Marathon in under 4 weeks and I wanted to take a moment to share my JustGiving page and for anyone who doesn’t know a bit about why I am doing it.

I am running for Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity that is very close to my heart and has been supporting my family over the last 4 years. In March 2021 my older brother, Harry, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia and after countless rounds of chemotherapy and two failed stem cell transplants we were given the upsetting news last November that Harry’s cancer is now terminal.

I want to thank everyone at the club for the support they have shown Harry and me over the last four years - supporting the charity days, asking how he is doing and just generally being so supportive to both of us.

If you can donate I would be so appreciative as I know from first hand experience all the amazing things TCT do for young adults battling cancer.
