About Dan Brown

Profile picture

On the 19th of April, I’ll be running the Guernsey Marathon in memory of my father, Julian Robert Brown, and to raise funds for Guernsey Chest and Heart LBG. 2026 marks 15 years since his passing. I was only six when he died, and taking on this challenge feels like a way of reconnecting with him and honouring the part of my life I never had the chance to share with him. 

Guernsey Chest and Heart provides vital cardiac screening and support for our community with services that can genuinely save lives. Losing my dad so young showed me how important it is for people to take their heart health seriously and to get checked regularly. No child should have to grow up without a parent when the facilities and support exist to help prevent it. If this fundraiser encourages even one person to book a screening or think differently about their cardiac health, that alone would mean so much. 

Running a marathon will be tough, but every mile will be for him. It’s my way of carrying his memory forward while supporting a charity that does incredible work for so many families. If you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, your support will help the Foundation continue offering essential care to those who need it most. 

I’m grateful to be running next to my close friend Patrick Aarons. I couldn’t think of anyone better to do this with.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for supporting a cause so close to my heart.
