My name is Jacob and earlier this year my wife and I welcomed into this world our baby boy who was born prematurely at 34 weeks. This ended up with our new-born staying in the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) where we got to witness first-hand the wonders the team on that ward provide. To help with their efforts and as a small gesture to say thank you (I can never repay SCBU for allowing my baby to come home happy and healthy), I plan to run the Yorkshire Marathon in October 2025 whilst raising funds for these essential improvements….

It has been just over two years since I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and since then I have undergone various treatments to help manage the condition including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy. These have all helped to manage the cancer so far. This treatment and exceptional care has been carried out by excellent staff, such as those in the Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre at Harrogate District Hospital.  Throughout this period, I have also had tremendous support from Active Against Cancer (AAC) who have helped me with my fitness level and with the recovery after each treatment and…

I started running during COVID-19 to get some exercise in and get away from my desk for some time a day.

Being able to enhance the experience for service users and staff at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust (HDFT) and all the good work this charity does is a great motivator for…
