My Story
Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in both a Race for Life 5k and the "Run 2 Miles every day in September" challenge to raise money and save lives. Before the pandemic hit, I wouldn't have been caught running for an ice cream van but since 'taking up running' during lockdown I thought I may as well challenge myself and raise some money for a good cause in the process. With diagnosis and treatment waiting times higher than ever because of the pandemic, support for research is more important now than ever before. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime - a really scary statistic. We all know someone who has been affected by this awful disease. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me and keep me going!
