Wimbledon Man runs 21km to honour his mother who died from a rare form of cancer.

A man from Wimbledon is taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon in honour of his mum this morning.

Julia Rogers died from Spindle Cell Sarcoma, an extremely rare type of cancer, in December 2022 at the age of 66.

31-year-old Jack is taking on the 21km run to raise money and awareness of the disease.

He says he’s not a runner and told Jackie News that making a difference will be his motivation.
