My Story
I only started running in January this year, and now this is the second half marathon I will be running to raise money for cancer research. My dad was diagnosed with cancer in January 2014. Unfortunately, by the time he was diagnosed, it was already stage 4 so the cancer had already spread from his prostate and he has a large tumour on his spine. My dad has his ongoing treatment for the prostate cancer and was also involved in a trial of radiotherapy for the prostate cancer which is manageable. But the cancer has still continued to spread to his lymph nodes and he has had a second tumour on his spine. He has now started having a rare treatment for people where chemotherapy has not been effective. All the treatment my dad has had and continues to have is not a cure as the cancer is too far developed, but luckily he is still here for now. Donate to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
