In support of KickCancerThon, TRBusiness is setting about clocking up a marathon walking and running effort in February to help raise funds for the initiative’s chosen cause, The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

KickCancerThon – a global fundraiser and visibility campaign for cancer research – has been launched by Sinead Moodie, daughter of The Moodie Davitt Report Founder and Chairman Martin Moodie, following her diagnosis with an ultra-rare and aggressive form of cancer.

The movement calls upon duty-free and travel retail (DF&TR) industry stakeholders around the world to unite in the fight against cancer through organised activities designed to help raise awareness, as well as vital funds for research and treatment initiatives.

Janice Hook and Faye Bartle.

The activities, which are mostly being carried out in February 2026, can be undertaken as a team or individual challenge.

On behalf of TRBusiness, Co-owner and CEO Janice Hook and Editorial Director Faye Bartle will be splitting the marathon distance (42.195km / 26.218 miles) between them in a dual running and walking effort.

Hook will be embarking on a beach-to-beach walk in Koh Samui, Thailand.

Bartle, meanwhile, will be lacing up her running shoes to go the distance on Surrey road runs over multiple weekends in February. They will be sharing an update, once completed, via TRBusiness.com.

If you wish to donate to the cause, please do so via The Moodie Davitt Report’s JustGiving page, which can be found here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/kickcancerthon

“We are in awe of Sinead’s bravery in sharing her journey – our thoughts are with her and the family,” said Bartle.

“It’s inspiring to see the industry come together in support of KickCancerThon and we hope our small effort can help to make a difference.”
