Cancer survivor to run 120-mile ultramarathon
Available for over a year
A Leicestershire student who survived cancer is preparing to take on a 120-mile ultramarathon fundraising challenge. Jack Brown was 16 when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2020 and underwent chemotherapy and three surgeries before being given the all clear in 2022. The 21-year-old says he 'didn't have the energy to walk' during his treatment, but went on to complete the London Marathon in April 2024 in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust. His new fundraising challenge will see him set off from The Royal Marsden, in Surrey, on Friday and finish at Loughborough University, where he studies marketing and business management, on Monday. Jack spoke to 91福利社 Leicester's Ady Dayman.
