My Story

When I’m asked why I run, I always answer that it frees mind, body and soul. When I’m asked why I run marathons, I always answer that there’s nothing more incredible than pushing your body beyond its limits. When I’m asked why I run for World Child Cancer, I always answer that there is nothing more precious in this world than the smile of a child!

World Child Cancer is a global charity supporting those most desperate in need of help because the systems that work so well in some countries are simply non-existent in others. World Child Cancer provides treatment to children with cancer, offers care after their hospital stays and aides the families so that they may be with their child. Furthermore, World Child Cancer focuses on training for doctors and nurses in some of the world’s poorest countries.

It is a priviledge for me to support their efforts by doing what I love and a bit more by investing time, effort and sweat for their cause every time I take on the insanity that is running 42.2k in one go ;-)

For 2021, I decided to pick up from where I left off and run the virtual Virgin Money London Marathon on 03 October 2021 for children in need.

Why? Because NO CHILD SHOULD SUFFER!

Thank you very much for listening with all your heart and supporting my training and official races with your donations to this, my World Child Cancer fundraising page!!!

Much love, Anna
