Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
A little 4 years I was diagnosed with Advanced Prostate Cancer and from that point I realised my life going forward was never going to be the same . Under the medical leadership of Mr Andy Thomas and Mr Jason Lester and their colleagues at the Rutherford Cancer Centre and St Thomas surgery in Haverforwest my treatment began to contain this horrid disease .
After 2 rounds weeks of radio therapy and an ongoing difficult tablet regime my wife Clare set me a challenge of now getting fit again, and this started jogging with her around Roath Park Lake in Cardiff that was approximately in total 4 miles ! She told me it was a mile !
Initially this was so much of a struggle , but after several attempts and each time thereafter it became easier for me ,and then I started to feel a real sense of achievement . Those horrid dark clouds had now started to lift and I began feeling a real purpose in life again .
Since 2017 I have now run 2 Half Marathons and the Park Run in Haverfordwest most Saturdays .
In early 2022 I was given the news that the cancer is spreading and now has set up home throughout my skeleton which at times make my running quite a challenge .
So now it is time to run Cardiff 2022 .
