My Story
In the past 5 years, I've lost my father, my uncle, Bijan, aunt, Farideh and a very dear friend, Natalia, way too early, to cancer. Doing the 10K is a true challenge for me, and I feel it's my way of honouring their memories and hopefully, with your help, raising money for Cancer Research. I realise for you runners out there, 10K isn't much, but as a very novice runner this is a big challenge for me, as I'm trying to do it in under an hour. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 10k 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. Thank you for coming to my page and for those who do sponsor me, a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will be training with you in mind. Love, Leila
