My Story

You may or may not know that I am not the world's best runner, for a long time 5km was my limit. In 2009 I tried a 10km Race for Life in Brighton, and I collapsed from heat exhaustion and low blood sugar levels, where I needed medical assistance and oxygen - Very Scary!!! Since then I have been able to complete a few more 5km and 10km runs successfully, and in 2016 I completed the Great South Run (10 miles or 16km) which was my furthest distance. So this year after a few hamstring issues early in the year, I managed to get back into running and wanted a new challenge, so have signed up to take part in the Cardiff 1/2 Marathon. This will be my furthest distance running. Cancer Research means a lot to me as I have had friends and family affected by Cancer. If you can help me raise funds towards helping to beat Cancer, it would be greatly appreciated xxx Cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m raising money right now for Cancer Research UK. There’s no time to lose! Donate to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. Donating through this page is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with Cancer Research UK.
