Shine London 2018 - Full Marathon

In memory of
Karen Beer
Okay, so I’m on the scrounge again. A friend of mine, Karen Beer passed last November following an extremely short fight with cancer (much like Mum’s four years ago) and to celebrate her life her husband Jon, myself and a group of friends will attempt the Shine Walk next weekend in aid of Cancer Research. A couple of years ago you will recall I shortened the life of my legs (and every other joint in my body) by ten years in taking part in a 100k walk for Mum’s hospice. It was far from easy and although this event is only half the distance, I’m fully expecting it to cause me just as much pain. Walking with a bunch of weirdos with a few extra lbs than I was carrying in 2016 is not something I’m looking forward to. Actually, I’m terrified. Please find what you can and help me raise money for Cancer Research. One day we will find a cure for cancer. Thank you.

Bowel cancer
Over the past 40 years there's been dramatic progress in tackling bowel cancer and half of people diagnosed will now survive for at least 10 years. But with bowel cancer still claiming around 43 lives each day, more research still needs to be done. Help Cancer Research UK find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease.
