James Oates

Its World Cancer Day and therefore a good day to announce that I’m running with Moya Cole Hospice in the Manchester Marathon & Chicago Marathon 2026!

As we established last year, I’m one of life’s heroes. So that’s right, I’m asking for your monies again cos I’m taking my little legs round TWO marathons this year.

I’ll be running Manchester in April. And in Oct, which marks 12 and 15 years respectively since I lost my Mum and Dad to cancer, is Chicago.

Lip Sync Twattle will be back during training - if you donate you can request a lip sync song for me to post during one of my long runs!

And if I hit my target before Manchester - I may well do a surprise fancy dress.

Moya Cole amazing cause that means so much to my family.

They provide incredible care to patients with life-limiting illnesses and supports their families and carers across Greater Manchester.

Moya Cole Hospice is a lifeline for many, but with only a third of their funding coming from the NHS, they need to raise £20,000 each day to continue providing their essential services and compassionate care.

Every step I take will help St Ann’s provide essential care for patients and their families. Please support me by donating what you can.

£10.85 could help to continue providing TVs and WiFi for inpatients to enjoy during their stay.

£20.60 could pay for a hand or foot massage with one of their therapists to help a patient or carer relax.

£30.60 could pay for a bereavement session for a loved one with their specialist team.

Thank you for your support!
