Maria's Race for Life At Home
Race for Life at Home
Sat 24 Apr 2021
My dad is currently in hospital fighting cancer. I live in the Netherlands, but managed to get a flight over in January to be closer (now living with my auntie). Due to covid this is, most of the time, as close as I can get. Dad has shown exceptional strenght and courage having to go through; 2 surgeries, 1 lumbar puncture, multiple MRI and CT scans, X-rays, blood tests and is fighting off an infection whilst on chemo. All that, without frequently being able to hold our hand or see a familiar face. He is not just my dad, he is my hero and an inspiration to all of us! 💕 After a year where vital cancer trials have been delayed, the Race for Life is more important than ever. That's also why I'll be taking part in the Race for Life at Home. Every pound you can donate will go towards Cancer Research UK’s ground-breaking work, so please sponsor me today! If you’d like to join the Race for Life at Home community, then sign up at raceforlife.org/race-for-life-at-home You can go solo or join my team: ViKING's after signing up! It does not matter when or where or who you do this with. In the end, we still are all doing this TOGETHER! <3
