Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Clare Alexander and I am running the Yorkshire marathon to raise money for the MS Society as my husband suffers from this condition.  I have applied for the marathon two times previously to raise money for this charity but due to my own health issues this has not been possible.  In 2014, during training, I had a collapsed lung which prevented me from taking part.  I then deferred my place for a year however in June 2015, again during training, I was diagnosed with bile duct cancer.  I had to undergo major surgery to have a large tumour removed, before a dreadful 6 months of chemotherapy.

Unfortunately, the cancer has not gone. I have incurable cancer and I am running a marathon to prove to myself that nothing will stop me. The support I get from friends and family is fantastic and I intend this marathon to be third time luck (maybe not win it tho).

Thank you all for your support.

Clare.
