Story

Four years ago, my fiancée, Michelle, was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. Following her initial treatment, she remained clear for the next three years but, sadly, last year the cancer returned. She has since gone through several rounds of different chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments to tackle this horrible disease, which is still ongoing.

Throughout her time receiving treatment, the people at Velindre Cancer Centre have been truly exceptional in their support and care provided to Michelle. Although I cannot do much in the grand scheme of things, I want to do what I can to support them.

My goal is to raise some much-needed funding for Velindre. On Saturday 26th November 2022, I will be running 20 back-to-back 5K Park Runs. Once I cross the finish line, I will have covered a distance of 100km/62.14 miles, which I'm hoping to complete in under 14 hours. Any donation, however big or small, would be hugely appreciated and going to a fantastic cause.

Thank you for your support.
