Ben Austin

London Marathon 2026

Why I’m fundraising...

In April 2026, I’ll be running the London Marathon to raise funds and awareness for Target Ovarian Cancer, the UK’s leading ovarian cancer charity.

This cause is very close to my heart. I sadly lost my Mum to ovarian cancer 6 years ago when she was just 54. At 23, seeing first-hand the devastating impact this disease has on people and their families is something that will stay with me forever. Running the marathon is my way of honouring her memory, and of turning that loss into something positive that can help others in the future. 

Target Ovarian Cancer focuses on what truly matters to stop ovarian cancer from devastating lives. Their work centres on increasing awareness of symptoms, improving early and life-saving diagnosis, funding better treatments, and providing vital support for everyone affected by ovarian cancer. Early diagnosis can make all the difference.

Please support my fundraising if you can — together, we can help transform the future for everyone diagnosed with ovarian cancer. 💙
