Martin’s Epic 3 Marathon fundraiser for Teenage Cancer Trust

My Story

Like most families, ours has been affected by cancer. Losing my uncle, my father’s twin brother, to pancreatic cancer. My father survived thyroid cancer. Bouts of skin cancer. The hardest though was my cousin’s daughter, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at age 14; even though there was an initial reprieve, it soon came back and despite the best efforts, expert treatment and support from Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT) unit at the Leeds General Infirmary she lost her brave battle 5 years later.

Money donated will help fund this special charity, ensuring it can support other teenagers and their families throughout treatment and, hopefully, into remission. 

In 2014, my working lifestyle with my business transformation company led me to weigh 154kg/340lb with a 54"/137cm waist at age 43, feeling like I was 74, lethargic, warn out and not as performant as I once was with backache, brain fog and trouble breathing and even getting out of bed was a struggle. By age 45, I weighed just 94kg/207lb with a 32”/81cm waist, feeling fantastic and performing better than I ever have.

I now specialise in transforming busy and overweight business owners and consultants into fitter, happier, and more confident people because I understand the unique challenges you face and why, up until this point, it has not been easy to fit your health into your lifestyle.

I continued to set myself new challenges to “walk the talk”, which included starting in February 2024, when I was not a runner, supporting my wife in achieving one of her ambitions, running a 10K race, I had to start running. As an asthmatic, this was a daunting prospect, as I have been hospitalised in the past. However, in 6 months, I had gone from not running to competing in the York 10k, raising money for the RNLI as part of my 10K journey.

Now my challenge is to complete the London Marathon on the 27th of April 2025, 14 months after I started to run, followed by the Milton Keynes Marathon the next week on the 5th of May and then the Rob Burrows Leeds Marathon on the next within 2 weeks on the 11th of May.

I've publicly shared my journey from “couch” to 10k on social media and will continue to do so through my training and events. I am really happy to run the world’s most famous Marathon. I am seeking sponsorship and support to complete all 3 marathons on behalf of Teenage Cancer Trust.

About Teenage Cancer Trust

Cancer doesn’’t just devastate their health. It threatens to take away everything they care about – their identity, their independence, and their dreams.

Teenage Cancer Trust funds specialist nurses, youth support teams and hospital units within the NHS to provide the very best care and support during treatment and beyond, making sure cancer doesn’’t stop young people from living their lives. 

Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need.

We made it!

Andy, @dominic2k1 and I just completed another incredible adventure, raising money for a valuable part of the UK Coastline, walking the Cleveland Way, a national route, which is recommended to be completed in 9 days, however, we completed it in 5! This was definitely a challenging experience, especially after developing large blisters on day 1, I think painful would be an understatement😅
The idea was to walk 109 miles (the length according to the books)  however we calculated 128.7 miles, an average of almost a marathon a day! Such an amazing journey, feeling accomplished😎
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution are a charity that saves lives at sea. Powered primarily by donations, the @rnli was founded in 1824 and has since grown to operate from 238 lifeboat stations and 220 beach lifeguard units. Since opening its doors the organisation has saved 143,900+ lives, in 2021 408 lives were saved by the brave operational crew, 97% of which, are volunteers...
RNLI lifesavers are our lifeline. They’re the lifeboat crews who provide 24-hour search and rescue right around the UK and Ireland. Their lifeguards keep watch on 240 of the busiest beaches in the UK and the Channel Islands. And the RNLI safety teams and educators working tirelessly to stop people from getting into trouble in the first place.
 
Too many people are still drowning. More than ever we need the RNLI’s help. As a charity, the RNLI depends on our donations so it can go on saving lives and keeping us and our loved ones safe.

Public Speaker

One of the reasons I love speaking is that it can reach more people.

Public speaking is an important skill in any professional field. It’s also an important skill for anyone trying to make their voice heard. 

Speaking well can be a potent tool for personal growth and development, and it can help you develop your confidence in ways that you never thought possible.

Being able to speak well in public will:

  • Improve your personal and professional reputation.
  • Increase your influence in decision making processes.
  • Help you to gain the trust and respect of others.
  • Provide an increase in personal confidence and self esteem.
  • Enable you to be seen as an expert in your field.
  • Help you to stand out from the crowd and be memorable
    • and many many more

The Problem

The problem was this left no time for me. In fact, factoring in time with the wider family, keeping up with friends and walking the dog, my own self-care and personal development was pushed so far down the priority list it barely registered.

Have you ever noticed that sometimes it takes a shock for you to take action?
