Shine London 2019 - Full Marathon
Sat 21 Sep 2019 - Sat 21 Sep 2019
In January I lost one of my oldest and best friends to ovarian cancer. At 45 she was not only my amazing friend but a wonderful wife, mummy, daughter, sister and good friend to endless other people. Kirsty was inspirational, beautiful, clever, kind and funny. She would bring an element of fun to any outing, day or night - she was very special! With a group of friends and in memory of Kirsty and everyone else who has lost their fight with this terrible disease I will be doing the Cancer Research London Shine Night Walk Marathon (26 miles) on 21st September. I’m hoping to raise as much money as possible to help fund life saving research to hopefully one day find a cure. Anything you can spare would be very much appreciated. Thank you. ❤️
CAUSE
Ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer in UK women, with more than 130 women every week told that they have the disease. It is often not diagnosed until it has spread, making it harder to treat. Help Cancer Research UK find new ways to detect ovarian cancer earlier and find better treatments.
