by My update. My London Marathon 2025 was postponed to the London Marathon 2026.
According to my experience, I think that chemotherapy attacks not only cancer cells but also your weak points.
My meniscus in my left knee was attacked during the last chemotherapy round and I only started walking properly pain in early January 2025.
I think that if I said no to the place where I was given a little less than two months for next month, I may never get this opportunity again. I wanted to make this emblematic marathon since I applied once in 2009.
I have been determined and I am always determined to finish the London marathon, but now in 2026 with what I now know how to be a much more realistic moment to strengthen the side effects of chemotherapy and intensify the formation gradually.

Unfortunately, I felt that the marathon pressure was so close next month and March 16, I drew too much and I bruised my meniscus from the left knee and I have to heal and strengthen myself before starting to train, this time with a reasonable year to prepare.
My Just Giving page will remain open, but I think it is just to ask people to suspend other donations with the hope that I will have good news to restart it before the London marathon in April 2026.
I appreciate the support and kindness of everyone who have been given to me.
