My Story
Cancer sucks. We all know this. But we are all humans and it never sucks as much as when it hits close to us. A few months ago one of my best mate was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. He's fighting bravely and is defeating the beast. He's the 5th person I know below 40 being hit in the last years. So for him, for my friends who have close relatives fighting and for all those with enough courage to face it, this October, I’ll be running 21.1 km through London’s Royal Parks for Cancer Research UK . This one means a lot more than chasing a finish time. Every kilometre, every donation and every bit of support will help fund research to beat cancer. If you can spare a few pounds, please donate. And if not, a share is just as appreciated. 21.1 km. One very good reason. Let's defeat the beast. Together.
