My Story
On the 19th April 2019 I will be taking part in the Victoria Park Half Marathon. I am running to raise money for Cancer Research UK which is an amazing charity that is dedicated to beating cancer through research. I am passionate about helping to raise awareness of mouth cancer. This is a serious and debilitating disease that can devastate lives and prematurely ends lives. Early detection and diagnosis of mouth cancer dramatically improves survival rates and also makes treatment and rehabilitation easier. However, awareness of mouth cancer is very low. According to recent research from the Oral Health Foundation 75% of adults in the United Kingdom do not know any of the symptoms of mouth cancer. I am grateful for all the help and support we received when my family was affected by cancer. I am running on behalf of all cancer survivors and all those who are no longer with us. Together we are stronger. Together we will beat cancer sooner. I would appreciate your support.
