Maggie's May Matters Marathons

May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month.

This year, the White Matter Brain Cancer Trust is challenging people anywhere in the world to complete a marathon over the course of May (more info about the event here: https://events.humanitix.com/may-matters-marathon)

As this is a cause incredibly close to my heart, I will be completing four marathons during May to raise funds for the trust. That's 6km a day, for 31 days (6.0285 if we're being technical).

My daily walk (sometimes run, potentially crab-walk depending on the mood) will take place around the perimeter of Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin.

These 186 kilometres will be dedicated to both my dad James Worthington (founder of the White Matter Brain Cancer Trust) and my uncle Andrew White who the charity was established in memory of.

In 2017, Dad lost his battle to brain cancer. I think he would have liked Tempelhofer Feld. Great place for a barbecue... Lots of activities to take part in... Plenty of people that probably need a good telling off.

All funds raised will go towards supporting the work of the Trust, to improve the lives of those living with brain cancer. If you are in a position to give, all donations are hugely appreciated and will make a great difference.

And if you'd like to be nosy and check that I'm actually leaving my apartment, I'll be documenting my daily walks over on Instagram - @maggsworth.
