Run for Rebecca


Launching on 3rd May which  would have been Rebecca’s 52nd birthday 


From the day of her diagnosis with stage 4 Non Small Cell Lung Cancer to the point she could no longer get out,

Rebecca ran 2,395 miles.


Running wasn’t just something she did.

It became part of who she was — and part of our family life.


She set herself a goal of 50 miles a month.


She ran after chemotherapy.

She ran after infusions.

She even sneaked out early in the mornings during Covid when we were meant to be isolating.


And those who followed her on Garmin will know exactly when the pre-treatment steroids kicked in — because suddenly she was about 30 seconds a mile quicker… proof why they’re banned — and why we’re grateful Parkrun doesn’t test.


But more than anything, running gave Rebecca strength.


It lifted her on the hardest days, helped her stay positive, and kept her going when things were tough.


She inspired so many others to get moving too.

Being active — even in small ways — can:

Improve physical and mental wellbeing
Help people cope during and after treatment
Build resilience, strength and hope



Rebecca showed us that.

If Rebecca could run 2,395 miles through treatment,

maybe we can all take the first 5K step.
