Oliver's Run for Pancreatic Cancer

By Oliver Connon

Donate to Oliver and help them hit their goal of £1000!

I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

Hi my name is Oliver and I am 7 years old. I wanted to raise money for pancreatic cancer as my grandfather 'papa' died of this horrible cancer in 2020. I miss him everyday and don't want other boys or girls to lose anyone close to them from this cancer .

So during January I am going to run 26.2 miles to try and raise as much money as possible to find a cure for pancreatic cancer! I would really appreciate any sponsorship money you can spare for this great cause. 

Please support my fundraising!

My Updates

I did it!

I ran my last 1 mile this week with all my friends and family. We even had a lady from the radio station! It was so much fun running with all my friends, they cheered me on and we got to eat cake afterwards. I even got a trophy from mummy! I can't believe my little legs manged to run so far

Daily express

I am so excited I am in the paper! Mummy went and bought two papers on Saturday, she is so excited and so am I! 

Running with my cousins

We went away for the weekend for my uncles 40th birthday. Mummy and I ran 2.5 miles on the Saturday around a nature reserve. We saw wild ponies and lots of birds! It was my favourite run so far. I also got to run with my youngest cousin Lucas. He did so well and I loved running with him. I've only got 1 more mile to run with all my friends next week and I am so excited.

Running with Sky the dog

I really enjoyed my run after school today. I had more friends join me and even Sky the dog who ran alongside me. I can't believe how much money I've raised,thank you so much! I only 3.8 miles to run now!

Blustery Run

We went running on Sunday morning and it was very windy. My old childminder Helly came and ran with us which was so nice to have some company. She even brought me and Joshua some mini twirl chocolates to keep us going! I found the run a bit easier today and didn't get a stitch. We ran 2.7 miles and have now run 20.4 miles in total!

Hardest run to date

We went for a short run after school yesterday and it was so hard. My legs hurt and I got a stitch very quickly. I haven't been feeling very well this week, but mummy said we had to keep running. I cried on this run. But we ran another 2.1 miles and I feel very proud of myself. Lots of people have asked to come running with me which is amazing. My new t-shirt arrived this week, it is a bit big but I like wearing it as people know why I am running now. I've now run 17.7 miles...only 8.5 to go!

Over 15 miles complete!

This weekend I ran another 4.6 miles. This was my hardest run, my legs really hurt and I got a stitch. Mummy had to keep me going and keep bribing me with cake. We ran with friends today which was really fun. I've managed to run 15.6 miles and have raised over £500! Thank you so much everyone for all your support.

Mid week 3 mile run

Mummy and I went for a run after school today. We made it to old town cove and I felt very tired today. My hardest run I've done but we were joined by a Robin on our run so papa was definitely with us!

2nd Run

I managed to run another 3 miles on Sunday down the camel trail. My legs were pretty tired as I had just played in a football match, but I really want to try and hit my target! Thank you for all the sponsorship, I really appreciate it!

First 5 miles complete!

I ran my first 5 miles today along the camel trail. Mummy ran with me and we made it all the way to the slate quarry and back! My legs were quite tired at the end but I kept going. We had some fun music to run to which made me run faster!
