London Marathon runner inspired by eight month old cancer patient
Gabriella is running the TCS London Marathon 2023 to raise money for Neuroblastoma UK, after a friend’s son was diagnosed with neuroblastoma last March.
Gabriella first completed the 26.2 mile course in 2019. This year, she is raising money for Neuroblastoma UK after her friend’s eight month old son was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma. She has raised over £5,000 to help fund vital research into this rare and aggressive childhood cancer.
Neuroblastoma UK is delighted to join the growing group of charities from across the UK that have come together for the first Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month this April.
Throughout April, our charities will be sharing young people’s experiences of cancer, raising awareness of the unique needs of this age group, showing how we support young people and work to improve their experience through specialised services and research, and highlighting where change is urgently needed.
