Join tireless fundraiser Joe and take part in 10k run

Joe Addison, from Brighton, lost his father after a battle with cancer.

He has supported Macmillan since 2010 by taking part in marathons, races and spending 24 hours on a spin bike.

“The work Macmillan do is incredibly inspiring and fundraising for them is one of the best things I have ever done,” said Mr Addison. “Whatever the challenge is, Macmillan will be with you 100 per cent.”

As well as supporting Mr Addison’s father, Macmillan also helped care for his grandfather during his battle with cancer, giving him another reason to raise money for the charity.

Kathryn Johnson, spokesman for Macmillan Cancer Support, said: “Money raised from events like the marathon provide invaluable support to the work we do that helps people affected by cancer cope with the impact of cancer at every stage.”

Mr Addison has raised more than £6,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support over the past eight years.

Macmillan Cancer Support is looking for people to sign up for the Brighton Marathon and the BM10k on Sunday, April 15.
