Story

A Friends Mum was recently diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in her life. We want to do something for her (and the thousands of other families affected by the disease). Anyone who’s had a close family member go through cancer treatment will understand that you can feel pretty useless and passive in the process. Therefore, we’re going to raise some money by running 5k every single day from the 1st to 25th December. Even the days after Christmas Parties.Mum is the most perfect Grandmother/Auntie/Godmother/Mother/Matriarch/Surrogate/Chatterbox out there and it will warm her heart to know that we’re thinking of her and holding her hand throughout this tough time. My Friend was a teenage boy when he went through it last time. That experience changed his life, career choice and outlook for the better. Your money will help other families remain as lucky as we are.We’ll cross our final finish line on Christmas Day and feel blessed we get to spend it with our Wives, Mums and Daughters. Follow us at #125k2XmasDayAnyone who would like to join us (it’ll offset the mince pies) please message me!
