Shine London 2018 - Full Marathon
Sat 22 Sep 2018
Everyone knows somebody that’s been affected by such a horrible disease. My mum is my motivation to sort out my life, get fit and conquer 26.2 miles at night! My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer back in July 2013 and shortly after had a double mastectomy. Little did I realise just how life changing it would be, for her to become used to her new body and the rest of us to become used to her mood swings - apparently they’re common when taking tamoxifen! So from now on it’s positivity, my friends, my mum and I have a training plan to follow and will prepare ourselves for a huge physical and mental challenge. This will be made so much easier by knowing that every penny will go to such a good cause!
CAUSE
Breast cancer
With almost 140 women diagnosed every day, breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. And, although rarer, around 350 men are also diagnosed with breast cancer every year. The good news is more than two-thirds of women now survive 20 years or more. Help Cancer Research UK find new ways to diagnose and treat the disease.
