News in brief

Since 2023, Will Findlay has made it his aim to raise as much money and awareness for Blood Cancer UK, Britain's largest Blood Cancer Charity. Prompted by the loss of Tiffany Youngs, to the disease, Will has used his physical fitness and grit to complete near impossible challenges, including the running 250km in 50hrs - a genuinely 'superhuman' effort.

In March 2025, he once again attempts a challenge - but this times wants the help of all his friends, family and Icenians; to get 500 people to walk or run 10km/day for 5 days. Why 500? This is the number of children diagnosed with Blood Cancer every year. It sounds hard enough for a trained athlete and Fitness coach like Will, let alone anyone else. But Will has you covered. He has designed a 12 week training programme for anyone/everyone that would like to take part and it would be amazing if we, the Icenians, are able to do this with him.
