Caroline's There
Set up in memory of Caroline Walklin, who died of an oligodendroglioma in 2024, two years after diagnosis, the Fundraising Group is creating a legacy to bring about better outcomes for brain tumour patients. Caroline’s son, Jesse, is the driving force behind Caroline’s There, after already raising more than £33,000 through running the London Marathon in a giant pink brain costume and completing the Polar Night Half Marathon in Tromso, Norway.
Jesse, whose first challenge after launching Caroline’s There, was the 49km Matterhorn Sky ultra-marathon in the Alps, said: “All the way through her treatment, Mum only cared about how it affected everyone else. Knowing there’s no cure is a hard reality and was tough for us all to accept, especially when there are so many medicines and treatments for other cancers.”
