Sep 9, 2026 · original
The TCS Sydney Marathon 2026 once again delivered an unforgettable experience for runners from around the world, and this year Team ABC was proudly represented by supporters who travelled thousands of miles, overcame injuries, battled jet lag, and carried deeply personal motivations with them every step of the way. From the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge to the world-famous Opera House, Sydney provided a spectacular backdrop for an event that has quickly become one of the most sought-after races on the global marathon calendar. A Family Adventure in Sydney For Simon, Sydney was a chance to combine marathon running with precious family time. “It was an amazing event, my second in Sydney. It’s one of the best marathons in my opinion. I flew over for five days specifically and managed to run with my son Ben and spend a few days with him. The jet lag definitely showed towards the end of the ru

Just Keep Walking: Conquering the Yorkshire Three Peaks for Against Breast Cancer
Jul 10, 2026 · original
Written from the perspective of intrepid explorer, Pam Birkby, who trekked the Yorkshire Three Peaks for breast cancer research. “Just keep walking.” My daily mantra. These were the words given to me in May 2021 by one of my specialists when I was diagnosed with Secondary Breast Cancer . They resonated deeply with me. This new chapter of life wasn’t about racing to the finish line; it was about putting one foot in front of the other, always moving forward, always searching for hope. There was no need to rush, just to keep showing up and dealing with whatever came next. I also took those words quite literally. Get up and walk, keep fit, keep my body strong. Hiking became a way to stay active, keep my body strong and clear my mind. So, when I started looking for a new fundraising challenge, taking on a big walk felt like the obvious choice. On 16 May 2026, just five years after my diagnosi

Dr Anthony (Tony) Leathem
Jul 1, 2026 · original
The doctor at the tube station, pioneering research scientist & co-founder passes away Dr Anthony Leathem was a man whose compassion, determination and scientific discoveries influenced a generation of research scientists and changed the lives of countless women across the United Kingdom and beyond. A pathologist at the Middlesex Hospital, Tony – as he was known to all who knew him – became increasingly distressed by the number of post-mortems he carried out on young women dying from breast cancer. Rather than accept the status quo he resolved to act. With the backing of the college Dean – but with no funding available, Tony began his research into breast cancer. Together with his wife, Pat they began raising funds in support of his research by selling sweet peas and ginger cake from their home in rural Oxfordshire. However, it was the sight of Tony in his white lab coat outside Oxford C

I only began running last year. “Three years ago, I completed a half marathon for a similar cause, but I walked the distance. This time, after months of training, I was proud to run the full course. “The challenge meant a lot more to me than simply getting across the fi
