I'm taking part in Race for Life to raise money to beat cancer sooner.
In memory of
Frank Jewitt
My Story
Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives. This run is dedicated to my grandad, Frank Jewitt. He was diagnosed with bowel cancer and we sadly lost him in 2013. He was a funny, intelligent and the kindest man I’ve have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He pushed me to be the best I could be and he made me the person I am today. So this is for him. I’m categorically not a runner so this is going to be a challenge for me but thanks to cancer research my grandad survived cancer. He later died from complications however that treatment saved him and if I can assist in helping others spend that little bit of extra time with their loved ones then it’s completely worth it. So please give what you can and together we will beat cancer.
