<b>In loving memory of our son, Oliver James Gerrish
<br /><br />Why I'm Running?
</b><br /><br />On 7th April 2024, our beautiful son, Oliver James Gerrish—affectionately known as “Jolly Ollie”—was born. Tragically, just one day later, on 8th April 2024, our dear Oliver entered heaven as he peacefully passed away in our arms.

His time with us was painfully short, but his life was filled with immeasurable love, beauty, and purpose. From the moment we knew he existed, he became the centre of our world. We celebrated every kick, every scan, every tiny milestone. His nickname, “Jolly Ollie,” came from a scan photo where he looked like the happiest little soul with a smile on his face. That joy, that light, never left him—and it never will.
<br /><br />Oliver was diagnosed shortly after birth with HIE (Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy)—a severe brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen. It’s a condition that affects around 50 babies each week in the UK, and in many cases, like Oliver’s, the outcome is devastating. There are no words to fully describe the helplessness, the love, the heartbreak of watching your newborn fight for life while knowing you may have to say goodbye.
<br /><br />In those sacred hours with him, both painful and precious, we held him, kissed him, and told him how very much he’s loved. We are forever grateful to be his parents. <br /><br />Now, I’m running the London Marathon 2026 for Oliver. Nothing will ever fill the void he’s left, but we will always choose to celebrate his short, yet impactful, life. I want his name—Jolly Ollie—to be a light in the darkness for other families like ours.

<br /><br /><b>Why Shooting Star Children’s Hospices?</b>
<br /><br />In the midst of the most heartbreaking experience of our lives, Shooting Star Children’s Hospices wrapped us in compassion and care. <br /><br />
<ul>
<li><span>They provide vital end-of-life and bereavement support for families who are facing what no family ever should. </span>
</li>
<li><span>They care for over 800 families each year across London and Surrey. </span>
</li>
<li><span>They support babies and children with life-limiting conditions, and those who have died. </span>
</li>
<li><span>They offer end-of-life care, respite, counselling, memory-making, and a place where grief is held gently and without judgment. </span>
</li>
</ul><span><br />Their work is profoundly humane, and it is desperately needed.
<br /><br /><b>Every Step for Ollie<br /></b><br />Running this marathon is not just a challenge, it’s a tribute.
<br /><br />Each mile is for Oliver—for his little life that changed ours forever.
<br /><br />It’s for the families clinging to hope in hospital corridors.
<br /><br />It’s for the parents who are handed memory boxes instead of baby grows. 
<br /><br />It’s for love that comes in tiny footprints and never truly leaves.
<br /><br />If you want to support me, know that you’re not just helping me run.
<br /><br /></span>
<ul>
<li>You’re helping a grieving family find solace. 
</li>
<li>You’re helping a baby find peace in their final moments; and
</li>
<li>You’re helping love endure. 
</li>
</ul><span><br />Thank you for reading, giving, and remembering our Jolly Ollie with us.
<br /><br />With all our love,
Nick, Bailey and little brother James xx

Running for Jolly Ollie - London Marathon 2026

<div>We pay our business rates. We pay our VAT. We contribute positively to our neighbourhood. We increase the value of our neighbourhood. We fill in their forms. We jump through their hoops.
</div>
<div>We do all of this and more. So can we rely on our council to look after us in return? Or treat us fairly? No.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is the sad reality of running a small high street business. In our experience anyway.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the 21st February we (temporarily) lost a fight with Hammersmith and Fulham council and were forced to close Move due to a noise complaint under the Noise + Nuisance Act. Although the immediate matter was temporarily solved in a matter of days, the battle is very much ongoing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Prior to the complaint and threats of foreclosure, no member of the council came to the studio or offered to meet with us. No member of the council suggested a positive solution. Nobody offered help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We of course make noise. We are a gym. We do not however wish to be a nuisance to, or negatively impact the daily lives of our neighbours. Finding a reasonable solution is all we ever asked. But this was asking too much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In order to reopen the gym, we spent £7000+ to further soundproof our ceilings and pillars. We believed this would solve the majority of the problem. However, it turns out the Officer wrongly informed us as to the location of the complainant and as such, the works were in vain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Legal fees included we have now spent in excess of £11,000 trying to resolve this issue. However we find ourselves back at square one, with the threat of a forced closure becoming a very real thing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In order to prevent further action from the council, we must now install noise-reducing secondary glazing to our rear side windows (to prevent noise leakage to the actual area of complaint). We will also be installing a new ventilation system as we can no longer open said windows without breaching terms set out by the council.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This time, instead of asking the council for help, we are swallowing our pride and asking you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to help in anyway, big or small, we would be incredibly grateful to be able to put this nightmare behind us and get back to focussing on what we do best; serving our members and making people happy :)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our target is £7,500. This will cover 75% of the costs. If we fall short, we will dig deep and cover the costs regardless. If we raise more? We will cap it at £10,000 (the total cost of works).
</div>

WE HOPE YOU CARE MORE THAN OUR COUNCIL

<div>Hi Team - We have come a long way from a quiet coffee morning in February when the first Chat Cancer coffee morning began, it is a privilege to be where we are now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A little about my story for those who don't know me. My name is Josh and I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer July 4th 2020. Things took a slight turn when my diagnosis was upped to Stage 4 Colon Cancer in October 2022. The whole journey has been a rocky road of chemo, radiation, surgeries, colonoscopies and being prodded and poked by more needles than I can remember. I've come out the other end with a few war wounds, a positive attitude and a desire to make a positive difference for my fellow cancer patients. This period has had its ups and downs but out of its darkness has come a force for good.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I wanted to create a community whereby young adults going through cancer could be connected with one another as well as providing help and support when your are going through chemo. Which bring us to the birth of Chat Cancer, we began on a rainy Saturday morning at my London flat in March. A small group of us met and had the chance to digest and decompress our cancer journeys.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Chat Cancer aims to assist in the support and care of young adults suffering from cancer of any description or in need of rehabilitation as a result of such illness, by the provision of support networks. To raise awareness of the rise in cancer in young people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The future for our community is looking bright; I am pleased to share that Chat Cancer is in the process of being registered as a charity and we expect this to be completed before the end of the year. Please note that all funds will remain on here until the charity is registered. We will be putting some good back into the world :).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Below are a few examples of what your generous donations will support:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Person specific recovery assistance
</li>
<li>Travel costs to chemo
</li>
<li>Food and meals during chemotherapy
</li>
<li>Costs for support group morning
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Spearheading this launch, George Brooke (Trustee of Chat Cancer) has taken the helm in getting a group of heroic athletes together to complete the Greenwich Park 5k/10k on October 5th. If you are interested in joining us on the day please drop us a message or sign up here:

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All donations will go to supporting young adults undergoing chemo/ cancer journey. Please give generously and be confident in knowing that your donation will positively impact the individual from the get-go.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you would like to get involved in the charity in some way or are keen to fundraise please drop us a message through the contact button below.

<div>See you at the finish line!

<div>The Battle I'm Fighting
</div>
<div>At 29, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy, the fight of my life. I thought I'd won.
</div>
<div>Then it came back. Stage 4.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Suddenly, this wasn't a single battle—it was an ongoing war. And wars require resources I no longer have alone.
</div>
<div>I'm now on round 39 of chemotherapy. Multiple surgeries. Countless hospital stays. Regular scans, treatments, and the constant medical management that comes with fighting for your life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But here's what most people don't realise about cancer: the NHS provides extraordinary care, but fighting to not just survive but thrive requires going beyond standard treatment protocols.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why I Need Your Help Now
</div>
<div>I've reached the point where I need a medical war chest—resources to access complementary therapies, cutting-edge treatments, and recovery protocols that aren't covered by standard care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm not giving up. I'm gearing up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But I can't do this alone anymore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Who I Am and Why I'm Still Fighting
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before cancer tried to define me, I was someone who paired adventure with purpose.
</div>
<div>I ran 6 marathons in 5 days through Jordan's Wadi Rum desert for charity. I completed the Paris Marathon for Parkinson's UK. After my first round of chemotherapy, I ran the Austin Half Marathon supporting cancer research.
</div>
<div>Endurance, mental and physical, has always been my language.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've spent my life giving back through adventure, philanthropy, and service. Now I'm asking for help to continue my own fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The War Chest: What I'm Building
</div>
<div>I'm raising to fund the comprehensive treatment approach I need to not just survive, but to thrive and eventually beat this disease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This will include:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Specific Chemotherapy
</div>
<div>Advanced Testing
</div>
<div>Hyperbaric Oxygen and Red Light Therapy
</div>
<div>Supplements
</div>
<div>IV Infusions
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every pound raised isn't just paying for treatment—it's investing in hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's funding the complementary therapies that help me recover faster between chemotherapy rounds so I can maintain quality of life while fighting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's accessing cutting-edge treatments that may give me the edge I need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's building the resources necessary to wage this war effectively, not just defensively.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What I'm Fighting For
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm fighting to be here for my friends and family who've supported me through every treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm fighting to continue coaching young adults through their own cancer journeys, because they need someone who truly understands.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm fighting to prove that Stage 4 doesn't mean game over.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm fighting because I still have so much life to live, work to do, and people to help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Honest Truth
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cancer at any stage is expensive. Stage 4 cancer that requires ongoing, indefinite treatment? It's financially devastating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've depleted my savings. I've restructured my life. I've done everything I can on my own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But this disease doesn't care about individual resources. It requires a community effort.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is my ask. This is my war chest. This is how I keep fighting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount makes a difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Can't contribute financially? Share this campaign. Your network might include someone who can help or knows someone who can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every share is ammunition. Every pound is armour. Every act of support is hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Happens Next
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'll provide regular updates on treatment progress, how funds are being used, and the difference your support is making.
</div>
<div>Transparency matters. You're not just donating—you're becoming part of my fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Difference Between Surviving and Thriving
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Standard treatment keeps me alive. But I'm not fighting just to survive, I'm fighting to thrive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To continue coaching others through their battles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To keep sharing what I'm learning about resilience under fire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To prove that with the right resources and support, Stage 4 doesn't have to be the end of the story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've shown up for 39 rounds of chemotherapy (so far) when every cell in my body wanted to quit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm not quitting now. But I need reinforcements.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Will you join my fight?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every warrior needs an army. Will you be part of mine?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With profound gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Josh Vintner-Jackson
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>P.S. If you've followed my journey on LinkedIn or Substack (Resilience Reborn), you know I don't ask for help easily. This isn't comfortable. But neither is Stage 4 cancer. And I've learned that strength sometimes means asking for what you need to keep fighting.
