Personal Bit

I don't do running.

I also thought I didn't "do" cancer, but in 2014 my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer. She's undergone several operations and started chemo on 30 Dec 2014. 2015 is going to be a tough year for her.

Compared to that, I think I can do running. Especially if it helps find a way to rid the world of cancer. 

Your support really means a lot to me. 

This isn't just for me, or my mum but for all the people who are coping or have coped with cancer. I know a lot of people will have to face cancer sometime in their life. With your help, we can hopefully cut that number down.
