Love Island’s Danica Taylor is supporting her partner Nathan Grant as he runs the entire length of England to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Over the next two days, from Wednesday 9th October to Thursday 10th October, they will be running through Herefordshire, from Plowden through to Canon Pyon all the way to Wye Valley View.
Love Island star Danica Taylor is supporting her partner, Nathan Grant, on running the entire length of England to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Nathan embarks on the ‘England Victory Lap Challenge’ in memory of his brother, Christopher Grant. In August 2023, Christopher sadly lost his battle with cancer at just 34-years-old, leaving his three-year-old daughter without a father.
Between 1st-–-23rd October, Nathan will be running every day for approximately 30 miles – the equivalent of completing a marathon per day. The route begins in Longtown, Cumbria, and finishes in Land’s End, Cornwall. By the end of the challenge, Nathan will have covered over 500 miles on foot in total. Danica will be running part of the trail with Nathan, and at other times will be supporting alongside in their campaign van.
Danica has said: “Nathan in general is nothing short of extraordinary. He’s dedicated, resilient and I’m super proud of him embarking on such a huge journey, the ‘Victory Lap’. Cancer affects so many people and we want to be a voice for those who have been affected. Nathan has been pushing himself physically for over a thousand days now, so I’m certain he will do the whole of England proud.”
On his dedicated fundraising page, Nathan has said:“Cancer shattered my family, leaving a beautiful 3-year-old girl without her father. Witnessing my parents lose their eldest child was a pain I can hardly put into words. In the face of this tragedy, I made a solemn
promise to myself and to my brother’s memory. I swore to push all boundaries to honour him and live a life of selfless acts.”

Danica will be documenting the campaign every day on her Instagram and TikTok pages.
