I'm Sam, 22 years old and I'm running the London Marathon 2024 for St Luke’s, Basildon.

I have decided to take part in the marathon, to not only challenge myself but to also raise money for a charity that means a lot to me and my family. 

I am running the marathon in memory of my Grandad, who lost his battle with cancer in 2017. My grandad was a role model to me, and I hope I can make him proud.

St Lukes Basildon, played a huge part in my grandads end of life care, supporting my family every step of the way. I'd be grateful for any donations that will help give back to this charity.
