2019 Virgin Sport Oxford Half Marathon
Sun 13 Oct 2019
I am running the Oxford Half Marathon in October 2019. I am not the most athletic person and I am certainly not a runner. The furthest I have run is from the nightclub to McDonalds for my chicken nuggets, so this is a big challenge for me but I know it is worth it. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m raising money for Cancer Research UK. When I discovered that 1 in 2 people in the UK will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime I realised that every other person in my life will one day be affected by cancer. As I have grown up I have lost people who should still be around today and I have close friends who's lives have been changed by loved ones battling cancer. I lost one grandad to cancer and I have another grandad fighting cancer. We all are, or know someone who is fighting a battle against cancer. So please donate to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
