My Story
Both my mother (Fiona) and my mother's mother (Deirdre) survived breast cancer. Their survival, for the most part, is thanks to the accumulation of knowledge of cancer and its treatment. Ongoing research into cancer and its treatment will not only increases the survivability of breast cancer, it increases the survivability of caner in general. I will enter the Great North Run as an excuse to raise month for Cancer Research UK. Please consider supporting me. I am dedicating this fundraiser to Deirdre Clark (who to me was Granny Podge). Although Deirdre survived cancer many years ago now, she recently passed away. Deirdre is and will be missed. She was a wonderful character who may not have wanted to recognise the impact of scientific research in cancer! Nevertheless, I know that Deirdre would have supported me and for sure she would have enjoyed the spectacle of seeing runners in brightly coloured outfits. To Granny Podge.
