When my daughter was 2 weeks old,  my sister and I got the news all children dread to hear.  Our amazing dad had been diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer. We had an agonising wait to determine the complete extent of his condition and he finally started radiotherapy in August. We were lucky! The radiotherapy was a success and our fabulous dad, our children's Grandad lives to fight another day! Many families aren't as lucky as us.

Without help and support from MacMillan, dads fight would have been so much harder than it already was. Their assistance took away many of the worries he had whilst going through diagnosis and treatment and we can never thank them enough.

So, i'm running the Brighton Marathon to give a little back to the charity that gave our family a lot. Anything you can spare to help me do this would be so very very appreciated!
