Seb vs Iceland

Seb, 24, joined Children with Cancer UK in March 2023, but he has been fundraising for the charity since he was 12 years old. He is driven to do so in honour of his younger sister Libby who was diagnosed with a brain tumour at just 11 weeks old. He has completed marathons and a number of Ironman events, in September 2024, he plans to attempt his biggest and toughest challenge yet; something that very few people have ever achieved. Seb will be running around the Icelandic Ring Road – a national highway that circles the entire country – seeing him cover a distance of 1320km (820+ miles) in just over two weeks. Seb aims to raise awareness and vital funds to support children and young people affected by cancer. 

Seb, Libby’s brother said:

Libby is the most important person in my life. I was just five years old when she was diagnosed and we were told she needed a couple of immediate, serious operations with no guarantee she would survive. Thankfully she made it through – but she has been forever changed by cancer – socially, emotionally and academically. Had it not been for the help of charities like Children with Cancer UK, my family would have really struggled. Children with Cancer UK funded other charities that offered us with accommodation whilst Libby was in hospital and also financial help when we needed it. So, I knew I had to give something back and so I started raising money as soon as I was old enough.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported Seb: Lululemon, Therabody, Arc’Tery, RunderWear, Kitbrix and Solamon.
