Story
O.K so starting on Sunday the 28th of August I'll be running four separate 1/2 marathons over 6 weeks finishing on the 2nd of October - not quite sure if this is a great or foolish idea just yet but the schedule looks something like this..
Aug 28th - Severn Bridge 1/2
Sep 4th - Chippenham 1/2
Sep 25th - Bristol 1/2
Oct 2nd - Cardiff 1/2
I'm doing this in memory of my Dad who I lost just over 2 years ago to Mesothelioma - a rare form of cancer found in the lung due to Asbestos. It affects roughly 2,500 people every year and currently there is no cure for it. Hopefully the money raised can go some way to helping the funding that is massively needed for specialist care and clinical trials to continue.
Thanks for reading!
