50K Doughnut run - london '24 - Fundraising for oddballs
Dough-nut miss this one! (I couldn't resist!)
Date: Saturday 6th April 2024
Location: London
Start: Krispy Kreme, Stratford
Finish: Krispy Kreme, Canary Wharf
Full route below
Time: Starting at 09:00
Supporting: The Oddballs Foundation
What a dream, a 50K ultra with doughnuts. This is a SOLO challenge, the idea and route designed by myself all in aid to grab your attention, test my legs over 50K, enjoy the smell and taste fresh doughnuts and raise money for The Oddballs Foundation. I'll be running a route that takes me to 21 Krispy Kreme doughnut stores in London.
Why am I doing it? In 2021 I had testicular cancer, after an operation and chemotherapy I returned to the running shoes with a goal to help others. Now I design and take on my own running challenges and with your support I will raise funds for charities that support others.
Donate please click on the link below and donate anything you can to help Oddballs to continue their incredible work on awareness around testicular cancer. Thank you,

The Oddballs Foundation
The OddBalls Foundation
Let’s talk testicular cancer!
Established in 2015, The OddBalls Foundation is the UK's leading charity raising awareness of testicular cancer.
The charity educates people on the basics of testicular cancer and encourages regular self checking to promote early diagnosis; ultimately, saving lives!
The OddBalls Foundation’s main initiative to raise awareness of Testicular Cancer is through our University Ambassador Programme. We have 50 University Ambassadors across UK & Ireland, all from different ethnic backgrounds, with different genders and sexual orientations. Cancer does not discriminate, so being able to represent everybody is extremely important to us. Our University Ambassadors are committed to delivering Testicular Cancer Awareness talks in schools, colleges and the workplace all over the UK & Ireland, as well as distributing our Check Yourself guides and hosting awareness / fundraising events.
Testicular Cancer is unusual compared with other cancers because it tends to affect younger men; in fact, it is the most common type of cancer to affect men between the ages of 15 – 49. Having university students as our ambassadors is a powerful, relatable and memorable way of evoking the conversation and encouraging young men to check themselves.
