We’ve absolutely loved seeing everyone taking on 1 Mile a Day in October and watching your progress so far! 🎉

From early morning walks to lunchtime strolls, rainy runs and everything in between — you’re all showing up, putting in the miles and raising money to support people affected by lung cancer.

And the fundraising has been incredible too! 🙌 Every donation, share and mile is helping make a difference.

We’re so proud of every single person taking part. 💙

Keep going, keep sharing your progress and, most importantly, remember to give yourselves a massive pat on the back — you’re smashing it! 👏👟

When fundraising becomes a family affair! 💙

Meet Holly, who is taking on a challenge for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation alongside her dad and brother.

The family recently held their first joint fundraiser — a brilliant curry night complete with a raffle, Name the Bear and a game of Heads or Tails. 🍛🐻

And together, they raised a whopping £1,200! 🎉

The trio are all fundraising for Roy Castle, so they’ve decided to join forces for their events, helping them raise even more while supporting each other along the way.

A huge thank you to Holly, her dad, her brother and everyone who came along, donated and helped make their first fundraiser such a success.

We can’t wait to see what you do next! 💙

For years, the Great North Run was a family tradition for Tania and her uncle, Sean.

Sean started running in his 40s to raise money for charity and went on to represent England Athletics. In 2024, aged 58, he completed the Great North Run in an incredible 1 hour 19 minutes! 😳

In February 2025, Sean was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. He sadly died later that year, but throughout his illness, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation supported Sean.

This year, Tania returned to the Great North Run alongside her cousin Joe, Sean’s son, to run in Sean’s memory and raise money for Roy Castle. 💙

Together, they’ve raised over £2,000, with Tania raising more than £650 and Joe an amazing £1,400+!

Tania described the weekend as emotional, but full of memories, family, kindness and support.

Thank you, Tania and Joe, for carrying Sean’s memory with you and helping make a difference for others affected by lung cancer.

Evie and her mum, Drew, are taking on 1 Mile a Day in October for two very special reasons 💖👟

They’re walking in memory of Evie’s Great Grandad Kevin, who sadly lost his life to lung cancer, and for her Great Grandad Alex, who is currently going through treatment for lung cancer. 💙

It’s a cause very close to their hearts — and when Evie heard about the fundraiser, she wanted to do even more.

She went through her toys to find things she could sell and raise some extra money for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation 🥺💖

What an incredible little fundraiser! Every mile Evie walks and every penny she raises will help support people affected by lung cancer.

Keep going, Evie! We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way 👟💙

A huge thank you to the amazing DK Running Club, who joined us at Defeat Delamerethis year in memory of their much-loved friend and fellow runner, Farrah.

Since losing Farrah to lung cancer, her running family have continued to keep her memory alive through fundraising and challenges for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.

From fundraising on Farrah’s birthday and anniversary, to Mark taking on the Great North Run dressed as Wonder Woman in her memory, their support has continued year after year. 💙

It means so much to see the DK team still coming together, running for Farrah and helping other people affected by lung cancer 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💙
