Story
3 siblings (well 2 actual siblings and 1 cousin technically) with 1 purpose - to do our bit to help the effort against fighting cancer.
Despite all 3 of us having always been sport and fitness enthusiasts - honestly, running has never appealed to us. For 2019 we decided to take on a new challenge/hobby and add distance running to our sporting repertoire - what started off as 5km Parkruns has resulted in the 3 of us deciding to run our first competitive race - the Asics London 10km.
We want to use this opportunity to not only accomplish personal goals, but to also make a difference to others. Having lost grandparents to various forms of cancer, we have decided to fundraise for Cancer Research UK (CRUK) - an iconic charity to match running through the streets of an iconic city!
We would appreciate your support no matter how large or small - knowing that any funds that we are able to generate will be going to such an admirable cause will definitely serve as motivation whilst we rack up the miles during training, as well as on race day itself. We are also fortunate that Ajul's employer, HSBC, will match any contribution you make pound for pound.
Please also kindly remember to Gift Aid your donation if you are a UK tax payer.
Many thanks for your generosity,
Ajul, Minal and Rushil
