My Story
Our amazing friend and colleague Chris recently lost his brave battle against cancer, aged just 30. Chris was no ordinary guy he was so kind, clever, funny and genuine. Chris fought a very rare cancer and beat it, he was doing great but it came back. He had fought it once and we all truly thought he would do it again but it wasn't to be. After a bone marrow transplant and a really brave fight, Chris passed away peacefully in his sleep on 6th March 2019. I am also taking part in this race in loving memory of my Dad, Mick Sanders, who died on 2nd May 2018 at the age of just 60 after suffering with lung and adrenal cancer for over a year. He is missed dearly by so many of us, every single day. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now.
