My Story
I want to play my part, however small it is, in working towards a world where cancer is not a life ending diagnosis instead it’s just a momentary bump in the road. So I’ve set myself the massive task of running 100km so that Cancer Research can work towards a future where 100% of people can be told they are cancer free! I am very fortunate to have had love ones who have heard the magical words they are cancer free but I have also unfortunately known loved ones that weren’t so lucky. I have set myself the goal of running 100km in August across 7 days- 6 days of running 10km each day, and a marathon on the last day. I’m starting training in May which is 13 weeks before I start my challenge. To put this into context I am just coming off a fractured leg and knee injury which saw me in a brace for 8 weeks and I haven’t done any cardio, let alone running, in 12 weeks. To add to that I am asthmatic and most importantly I HATE running with my whole soul 😂. The pain I will go through is nothing compared to that of losing a loved one hence I decided the best way for me to be able to raise as much money as I can was to go big! I would be enormously grateful for any donations and if there is someone you want me to do this in memory of drop me a message or write it below as I plan on running the marathon with a top covered in names to commemorate those who have fought and continue to fight.
