Finn's Great North Run 2022 for Cancer Research UK

My Story

True to motherly fashion, Harriet is still making me do things I do not want to do. This includes running the Great North Run on the 11th of September. The’ll be no sad stories here as we can all agree Harriet lived an incredible life, one that should be celebrated. Always one to get you up and out, Harriet's easily my biggest running inspiration despite our shared animosity towards a pair of running shoes. Back in 1970, UK cancer survival rates were 1 in 4. Today this is 2 in 4. Cancer Research UK are on a mission to make this 3 in 4 by 2034 and so I’m putting my little legs to good use in supporting this. Alongside the memory of my mums roars of encouragement, ‘Go on, go on’, any donations no matter how big or small would be hugely appreciated. Equally if you'd ever like to hear tales of how incredible my mum was, you just need to ask and I will come armed with a coffee/pint for a catch-up with you. It’s been a curveball 2 years for everyone on this planet and so for those who have given the Ryley’s their time and support throughout please know we’re immensely grateful. I really mean that. My best and thank you.
