My Story
Cancer Research UK has lost £44m of funding this year. This inspired me to set up a virtual 5k for the charity. I am currently doing the couch to 5k programme and struggling to complete 3k at the moment (Aug 4th) but continuing on. Last year I lost a dear friend Becky to cancer and I know she would be really proud of this event. The date was meant to be the Bournmouth half, which unfortunately has been cancelled this year, and this was an event supported by Becky who loved running. Becky and I (and not forgetting Louise Stanton) ran a 10k in 2016 for the charity and basically until lockdown I hadn't run since. I am not a fan of running at all - but I will do it for Becky and to raise a bit of money for the charity. So please sponsor my effort for this great charity or join in the fun of the virtual run and share your pics on my feed on twitter or Facebook. You’re welcome to make a donation through my page or create your own page to fundraise and link into the team page. Don’t forget: Share your pics and run on twitter using the hashtag #Oct5kforCRUK
