My Dad was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in December 2011 when I was 20. We were incredibly lucky that the cancer was contained and his Prostate was successfully removed in May 2012 but this isn't the case for so many people out there.

The news was devastating to my entire family. It was such a shock to have the sudden threat of cancer so prominently in our lives. To raise awareness for others I completed the London Marathon 2015 in a time of 3 hrs 44 mins and have stupidly signed up to the Paris Marathon 2016 after vowing never to run a marathon again. 

I never thought at 20 years old my Dad would have any form of cancer and even though he is on the mend there are many people who lose relatives and friends to cancer every day.

My goal is to raise £5,000 for this amazing charity, this can only be achieved through kind donations from people like yourself.

 I can’t think of a charity closer to my heart to represent.
