Congratulations to Graduate Surveyor, Oran Green on completing a phenomenal 50km for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity!
After dealing with the awful news of a close family member suffering from bowel cancer, Oran is supporting the people who supported him and his family – The Royal Marsden.
His partner endured three major operations and six months of chemotherapy under their guidance. In his words:
“it is impossible to offer enough thanks to them for their continuous care and attention. Everyone from consultants to the nurses have been brilliant. We are, and always will be, deeply indebted to them all.
‘Throughout that time I took solace in the calming trails of the Surrey hills and every now and then, when the covid restrictions allowed, their beautiful pubs. So it gave me an idea for a fundraiser. A pub crawl combined with a run. Two of my great loves!
‘So I came up with Dan’s Beer Run. You can do a 15km, 25km or 50km pub crawl walking, running or cycling. The routes are all set along the lovely Surrey trails, with friendly people to guide you around and if you fancy it you can quench your thirst in the pubs along the way. Not compulsory but gently encouraged! The different events should finish at roughly the same time at Epsom Cricket Cub where we have the whole venue reserved for a great party afterwards. This is where we will make merry and reward our hard endeavours with good food and beer. All routes start and end here.
‘We also offer the 5km Dan’s Juice Run and 8km Family Walk to reflect the family nature of the event. Growing out organically from the original concept they have become the the main events, bringing in local families to support the Royal Marsden. With the after party providing so much fun for the children, this makes for a brilliant family day out, all in aid of a great cause.”
Oran has already raised over £500, and there’s still time to support him and the team on JustGiving.
