Kicking Cancers Ass
My Story
I started running a couple of months ago for my mental health, but recently one of my closest friends, someone that I would consider family to be perfectly honest has been diagnosed with stage four breast, liver and lung cancer. My friend is 27, a new mother and a wife and exceptionally strong. Since the diagnosis I have seen nothing but positivity, hope and strength from our entire group and we have pulled together like the family we are. You are an inspiration to me my friend and the reason I am challenging myself to do this. If you can kick ass everyday like you are, I will kick this races ass. I can’t wait to see you waiting at the finish line! Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in the race for life 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.
