Cardiff Pretty Muddy 5k 2019

Sat 6 Jul 2019 - Sat 6 Jul 2019

As a group, called the “Mud Hatters”, we are going to take on the Cardiff Pretty Muddy ‪to give back, and to fund future research efforts.

My Story

1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. That’s a scary, inescapable fact. As members of a large immediate family, and a wider family that’s getting impossible to keep track of and will only grow, these numbers become frightening. To date, we’ve lost two beloved members of our family to cancer; our grandfather, Robert, and cousin, Joseph. Our father, Paul, has just come through the other side of 6 months of chemo with an inspiring amount of strength, determination and most importantly and insane amount of positivity. However the doctors have informed us it will return, likely more severe. The last 6 months have been hard on us all in different ways, but as a family we have come out the other end together, stronger, and closer, and we’d like to give back. Cancer survival rates have doubled over the past 40 years due to research and improvements however there is still so much more work to be done As a group, called the “Mud Hatters”, we are going to take on the Cardiff Pretty Muddy ‪on 6th July, 2019‬ to give back, and to fund future research efforts. You’ve arrived on this link as family or friend of us Keenors, and we would like to encourage you to give generously. Not just for what we’ve been through, but to help future generations of all families to see better cancer survival rates. Now, to our Mother’s despair , let’s get muddy!

CAUSE

All Cancer Types

Our work has helped double cancer survival in the UK in the last 50 years. Despite this incredible progress, there’s more to be done. Nearly 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime. Help us carry out world-class research into the prevention, detection and treatment of more than 200 types of cancer.
