Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page
As the page states I am running the Folkestone Half-Marathon on Sunday 25th September, I will also be running the Vitality British 10K London Run on Sunday 10th July. Originally I was only going to run the British 10K as it will be my first 'proper' run and while doing so I also wanted to give to a charity that deals with something very close to my heart as well as the hearts of many other people. However, in order to set myself a greater challenge to hopefully raise more money I've also decided to run the Folkestone Half-Marathon.
I have chosen to run for Cancer Research UK in the memory of my Nan who sadly passed away 9 years ago due to Cancer. However I also want to run in the memory of everyone who has died because of this horrible disease (There are over 350,000 new people who are diagnosed each year and over 150,000 of them die because of it!) Finally, I also want to run in support of all those who are currently suffering with cancer and those who are family members, friends, co-workers, team-mates etc. of such people. Cancer is disease that nobody should have to suffer with.
So please donate now in the knowledge that over 1/3 of people will be affected by Cancer some way at some point in their lifetime. Money is being raised in aid of Cancer research in the hope that we can one-day rid of the world of this horrible disease for future generations.
