Story

I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in memory of my beautiful and brave sister, Ali. She fought a long, brave and uncomplaining battle against cancer for 7 years and sadly died this February at the very young age of 40. I miss her every day and I hope that by completing this challenge and raising money for Cancer Research more work can be done to help save the lives of those who are affected by this disease. This is also for my wonderful 7 year old nephew, Elliot, who is a credit to her. X
