I’m raising as much as I can to beat Brain cancer

In memory of

Sharon

16th Jan 1960 - 21st Oct 2016

My Story

As you all know Sharon bravely fought and defied the odds for a number of years but finally succumbed to a Brain Tumour. She always said to me that she didn’t want to know how long she had left with us . She just wanted to share her precious time with our beautiful family . Every week she struggled to prepare Sunday lunch as she saw that as the most important family time when we would all get together to laugh with each other. As a teacher she loved working with children and when Oliver was born her particular life’s mission was completed . When holding her grandson in her arms she was content. She is with us in spirit and will be laughing at the antics of Oliver ,Harry ,Amelia and Archie. She always cared for others and she would be proud of me for attempting this run on behalf of Cancer Research UK. They have a huge programme of research into Brain Tumours and the funds I raise will be dedicated specifically towards seeking a cure for Brain Tumours , a disease which takes away more years of life than any other cancer. October 16 this year (approximately one month after the race) will be the 5th anniversary of Sharon’s untimely passing. Please donate to my page today and please remember her in your prayers.
