Together with its partner TCS London Marathon, Nissan is pleased to announce that Nissan Ambassador for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Adele Roberts, will participate in the event on Sunday 23 April 2023. She will be joined by ^{in the} starting line by fellow Nissan ambassador and Para-athlete Richard Whitehead MBE.

While this will be Adele’s third London Marathon, this one is very special. For the last two years, Adele has been sharing her story after she was diagnosed with stage two colon cancer. As a result of surgery to remove her tumor, she has a stoma while her intestines are healing along with the chemotherapy. In the summer of 2022, he received news that he was cancer free.

Adele has now decided to take on the challenge of completing the London Marathon with her stoma and will be seeking the Guinness World Record for the fastest marathon with an ileostomy (woman).

Adele Roberts said: “I am so excited to take on this challenge with ‘Audrey’. (Adele’s name gives her stoma) . It was an honor to be part of Rainbow Row with Nissan at last year’s marathon, creating a safe and inclusive space for the LGBTQ+ community. This year I’m looking forward to running through the Nissan Cheer Zone on Rainbow Row as a proud member of the community.

Andrew Humberstone, Managing Director of Nissan GB, commented: “We are proud to support our amazing DEI Ambassador Adele as she takes on this inspiring challenge. Adele has worked with us to support the LGBTQ+ community on our shows and through the Likelihood Project and continues to be a great example showing us what is possible to live with a disability.”

Nissan’s Possibility Project is proud to support the LGBTQ+ community and was delighted when Adele Roberts chose to raise money for the Attitude Magazine Foundation. Founded in 2018 by Attitude Magazine Owner and Publisher Darren Styles OBE to help organizations trying to make a difference in the LGBTQ+ community. Since then, she has provided funds to charities, groups and individuals that have helped LGBTQ+ people live happier lives and realize their full potential.

Examples of organizations and projects in the UK and beyond that the Foundation has supported include LGBTQ+ university scholarships, HIV projects and charities dedicated to supporting young people. Adele Roberts’ support will help the Foundation do things better in 2023.

Darren Styles OBE, Attitude Editor commented: “We are proud to stand up for Adele and all that she stands for and making her a much loved member of the Attitude family for many years. But it is an honor and a privilege to be with him and Nissan as part of the Run Proud initiative to benefit the Attitude Magazine Foundation for LGBTQ causes. We will be with Adele (and Audrey) every step of the way and encourage our readers and fans to join us in supporting her however they can. Adele is cool!” nissan DEI,
