Emma-Jayne's Race for Life
Pretty Muddy Cardiff 5k 2017
Sat 9 Sep 2017
In memory of
Gary 'Gatchy' Hagerty
I've been doing race for life events for years but this year the fight against cancer is more personal than ever before. My father was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma this year and died a week later. Mantle cell is a very rare form of cancer that usually doesn't get diagnosed until the late stages so my dad didn't even get the chance to fight it. This is why cancer research is so important so more can be done to understand, diagnose and treat these rarer forms of cancer. Therefore, I along with my family and friends are running for my dad Gatchy and to give others the chance to fight!!
