All money raised from this workshop will be donated in support of Jenny Blowers’ 2026 TCS London Marathon fundraiser.
By taking part, families are supporting both creative opportunities for children and an important personal fundraising journey.
Jenny Blowers Story:
I am running the 2026 TCS London Marathon in Three years ago, I was diagnosed with stage 3d melanoma. Since then, my life has been a whirlwind of treatments, hospital visits, and moments of deep uncertainty. I live with an inoperable tumour in my groin and am currently taking part in a clinical trial at The Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital, an incredible place that is working to shrink my tumour and give me more time.
The Royal Marsden has been my lifeline. Their care, compassion, and cutting-edge research have given me hope when things felt hopeless. They are not just treating my cancer, they are helping me live my life. That’s why I am taking on something that, for me, is both unthinkable and unstoppable: I am running the 2026 London Marathon.
This isn’t just about crossing the finish line. It’s about showing what’s possible, even in the face of something as relentless as cancer. It’s about giving back so that more people can have access to the same world-class care and research that I have been fortunate enough to receive.
Every penny you donate will go directly to The Royal Marsden, funding life-saving research and treatments that could change, and save countless lives.
it’s £5, £50, or just sharing this page, you’ll be helping to make a difference.
Thank you for standing beside me on this journey.
See you at the finish line.
Jenny
