WHY WE RUN IN OUR UNDIES and how it's making a difference. We run in our undies because those affected by NF can’t cover up their tumors. They can’t put on clothes to feel more comfortable, so why should we? Since 2010, we have brought together over 108,600 undie runners to build a community of supporters that just won’t quit. Our community has raised over $21,700,000 since the inception of Cupid’s Undie Run, with 100% of net proceeds funding NF research, through our partner the Children’s Tumor Foundation. And we are seeing real results, including a ground-breaking clinical trial where 70% of participants experienced 20-50% tumor reduction! But we aren’t even close to being done, and we won’t stop until we #EndNF.

Sunday was #WorldCancerDay, a day representing the impact on people globally who suffer the consequences from cancer, either directly or through those they love. More people than ever are now surviving cancer due to critical research, but this research can’t continue without our help.   After the success of 2022, I have signed on to undertake the continuous 100km solo again – this time for Cancer Research on June 8th-9th 2024. This is part of the #UltraChallenge2024 which are a recognised series of immense challenges to support charities across the country. The challenge will involve covering a distance of 100km (62 miles) over 2.5km elevation (or ~2.3 Snowdon’s) and will take somewhere between 24-30 hours, continuing the journey through the night.   Those of you who spoke or saw me after last time I did this know it was no easy feat, it took me 31 hours, along with plenty of tears and losing part of a toe! The aim this time is to be quicker, and hopefully keep more toes…   I know times are hard but any amount you can spare no matter how small or big, will be unreservedly appreciated. Alternatively, any support/advice you can offer would also be appreciated, along with any playlist and/or podcast recommendations for the journey. And a massive thankyou to those supporting from Mott MacDonald, as colleagues and friends.   If anyone you know would be interested in the challenge or donation, please feel free to forward this on.   JustGiving Link: https://lnkd.in/dTKAYvwi  All donations are considered voluntary and appreciated.

Through investing in research and innovation, we have witnessed extraordinary breakthroughs in medicine, diagnostics, and scientific knowledge. However some cancers have received little to no investment, so their survival rates have not improved.
