My Story
Three members of my family were diagnosed with cancer in 2018. When I found out my little brother was one of them, I was utterly heartbroken and I totally fell apart. I promised myself if he got better I'd do a Race for Life because if he can get through cancer, I can off my lazy backside & do something useful....running! He is better ...YAY...so I'm running.... YAY !!!! Sadly its not just my family that will go through this. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now. Thank you so very much! H xxx P.S. I'd like to thank Olympic legend Michael Johnson for helping me with my couch-to-5k training...he's been inspirational.
