The Longest Lap
In March 2027, Dr Lucy Gossage runs the entire coastline of mainland Britain to raise £50,000 for Move Against Cancer - and to prove that movement changes lives during and after cancer.
Lucy Gossage
A note from Lucy
I have spent over fifteen years living two lives: one as a cancer doctor, the other as an endurance athlete. The Longest Lap brings them together.
I wanted a challenge that would push me to the edge of what I think is possible, and that would say something bigger than my own running - that movement can change lives during and after cancer.
This is an invitation to help me prove it.
