I may be dying but, for now, I choose to live and show the world through words and deeds that it’s possible to live a full life post-diagnosis. I owe it to everyone I love and who is supporting me along the way to keep going, keep running and stay as fit and active as possible in the hope that I can live that little bit longer. To raise awareness along the way in the hope that others – unlike me – can maybe catch cancer early enough to give them a hopeful prognosis...

I’m proudly fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Care because they have already given me so much support in the form of medical information, counselling, media opportunities, a free will, and the chance to enjoy one last London Marathon.

JOGLE Week 2

JOGLE Week 1

226.7k (mostly) along the John O’Groats Trail Well that was quite a week! It was immediately preceded by a rather unusual prologue in the form of a drinks reception at the DFE to meet (no longer sh…

About Me

My name is Nathaniel Dye and at the age of 36, I was diagnosed with stage 4/incurable bowel cancer. I hope to survive at least a year, but my chances of making it past five are under 10%.

What’s the worst that can happen? It already has… So let’s go!

My name is Nathaniel Dye and I have walked, sometimes even run all the way from John O’Groats to Land’s End in 60 days, taking over 3 million steps.  Why?  Because I choose to live.  Because I say to the cancer that will one day kill me: Not Today. Not this week, not this month, not this year if I can help it.  Because when I am lying in my death bed, I will be able to look on this glorious moment, put my hand on my heart and say that I have done the very best I can with the precious time I have left.  Because that is what it means to be alive. That is what it means to be me.
