I'm Iain Ward but I'm known to most as The King of Chemo. I was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2020 and from that moment I've made it my life's mission to break world records raising money for charity. I push my body, I push my limits... and I push the boundaries of what's believed to be possible. I won't be defined by my cancer but I'm absolutely motivated by it.
Hope is finding strength when there's no promise of tomorrow.
Sometimes the only thing you need is to get snuggly wuggly and do the thing that makes you happy. For me, that's playing video games with my dogs.
Stronger together, because this has never just been about me. Proof that a small idea can turn into something amazing and make a huge impact on people's lives. I'm ending the year by releasing a 2026 charity calendar, and it wouldn't even be possible without the incredible community my cancer has given me. Here's a sneak-peak of December...
Cancer turned my world upside down. But it also put this smile on my face. Before my diagnosis I was just floating. Being given a finite number of years to live gave me the purpose I’d spent my whole life looking for. There’s something incredibly freeing about a terminal diagnosis – I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but for me it brought total clarity on how I wanted to spend the time I have left.
