My Story
I last did the Oxford Town and Gown 2k18 for Muscular Dystrophy, which was a brilliant cause and a great run! Now I’m moving on to something more challenging and more personal. In November 2017 my mum, Sarah, was diagnosed with stage 3c Primary Peritoneal cancer. She has gone through months of chemotherapy and is finally out the other side, feeling good and hopefully making a full recovery. I want to do this run to give back, to give back to all the people who have helped my mum. From doctors, nurses and friends who have helped her and treated her to the people working in research to find cures for her rarer kind of cancer, and helping many others for new cures and treatments. I want to have fun, move on to my next running challenge and help cancer research move forward. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m raising money right now for Cancer Research UK. There’s no time to lose! Donate to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. Donating through this page is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with Cancer Research UK.
