Hello :)

I have been trying to think of a good way to make my 30th birthday memorable and due to the current pandemic, I can’t do any of the usual ways to celebrate. So I've lost the plot and came up with the challenge of trying to run 30k on my 30th birthday to commemorate the occasion! Hopefully helping to raise money along the way for The Beatson Cancer Charity.

I know first-hand how tirelessly the staff at The Beatson work, to ensure their patients journey is as comfortable as possible at a very difficult time. I also can't think of anyone who has not been affected by cancer in one way or another, so raising anything towards supporting this cause would be fantastic.

My stepdad Rab was sadly diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2009, this started off in his kidneys initially and then later spread to his lungs and brain. Rab sadly passed away in 2010, but I know that the support &care that The Beatson staff provided for him was key in ensuring we had the most valuable time left with him.

My plan is to run as much of the 30k as possible on the 6th May, this will be a massive challenge for me (and my knees). So I will no doubt need to walk or crawl along the way, to ensure I make it to the finish line- as I am far from any kind of athlete! 

If you are in the position to sponsor me, it would mean the world to me and you would be supporting a well deserving charity!!
