Happy New Year all! On Monday I am having surgery to remove a tumour from my small bowel, having been diagnosed with cancer just before Christmas. Please feel free to follow my progress at @gotthegistofit . I will be no doubt enjoying strong painkillers so it might get good!

[Chris J @gotthegistofit]

Massive thank you to @PeteGravesTV @tomwhitemedia @reid6peter and everyone who has supported me and @BigRick1992 this last week.

Cancer will beat me, but if doing this stuff means I can help improve the chances for children like Arthur then I’ll keep going!

Cancer won’t win

Happy New Year Mackems & Geordies!

On Friday, the day before the @SunderlandAFC @NUFC derby, Ricky and I will be putting club rivalry aside (temporarily) to raise money for Children With Cancer.

On 5 January, during my next treatment break, I’ll be walking from @NUFC St James Park to @SunderlandAFC Stadium of Light raising money for Children With Cancer UK.

Cancer stops me from doing many things, but I won’t give up.

Cancer won’t win.

One week from now, during my break from Cancer treatment, I’ll be walking from St James Park to The Stadium Of Light to raise money for Children With Cancer UK

Cancer means I can’t do everything I want - but I’m not giving up

[Chris J @gotthegistofit]

I’ve tried and failed several times to get running again. Unfortunately cancer has probably stopped me for good.

That doesn’t mean I’ll be doing nothing though.

If you see me on Hadrians Wall give me a wave - I’m walking the 135km for Children With Cancer UK this weekend

I’m living with terminal cancer and I���m determined to do what I can to help children beat this awful disease.

❤️

[Chris J @gotthegistofit]

This weekend I’m walking the length of Hadrians Wall to raise money for Children With Cancer UK.

After 4 years living with cancer; I’ll do everything I can, for as long as I can to help children and their families beat this awful disease.

Cancer won’t win.

Liam is a massive @billybragg fan so if anyone happens to know Billy and can get a thumbs up or a few words of support I’m sure he’d appreciate that 😁❤️

The one time I would have been happy for something to get lost in the post 😭

Come on @itvtynetees @BBCNEandCumbria - I bet your viewers would love to see a @SunderlandAFC fan in a @NUFC shirt raising money for a good cause

[Chris J @gotthegistofit]

A big thank you to everyone who supported and donated to this important cause.

Over £700 raised for Children With Cancer UK, in the last 24hrs.

Now I just have to find a @NUFC shirt

🤦‍♂️😂

[Chris J @gotthegistofit]

3 years ago I was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

This Sunday I’m walking 32 miles from @Boro to @SunderlandAFC stadiums for Children With Cancer UK.

As a special treat - If this tweet gets 3000 likes, I’ll do the walk in a @NUFC shirt.

In 2021 I was lucky enough to be featured in the coverage of @LondonMarathon

Watching all the amazing people getting ready to run it tomorrow has hit me right in the emotions, so I’m going to have another go in 2024.

Training starts today.

Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.

[Chris J @gotthegistofit]

In just over a week I’m walking 32 miles from Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium to The Stadium of Light raising money for Children With Cancer UK.

Cancer will beat me, but it will never win.

Cancer will beat me, but it can never win

[Chris J @gotthegistofit]

When I got my diagnosis I thought life was over.

4 years on and I’m still here and living life more than ever.

Cancer will beat me but it will never win.

Treatment meant I struggled with running in 2022, but cancer doesn’t give up so nor do I.

So this year I’m running, climbing, and in June I’ll be walking the length of Hadrians Wall to raise money for Children With Cancer UK.

Cancer won’t win.
