David's Race for Life
Leigh 5k 2019
Sun 2 Jun 2019 - Sun 2 Jun 2019
I'm taking part in Race for Life to raise money to beat cancer sooner.
In memory of
Patricia Horsman
Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now. Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer. Two years ago I lost my sister at the age of 56 with a brain tumour after fighting breast cancer for over 12 months. This year two weeks after I had retired after working for forty five years I found out I had bowel cancer. Eight weeks ago I was operated on to remove this tumour and I have subsequently been told that I do not need any more treatment since the cancer has not spread to any other organs. You cannot understand the relief this as given me. I will be closely monitored for the next five years. I have decided to participate in the " Race for Life" on the 2nd June 2019. This is the leased thing I can do in this instance. Please give what you can to this cause. I feel so lucky to be still alive.
