Story

At the end of last year our family was faced with the devastating news that Philip; Husband, Daddy, Son, Brother, Cousin, Uncle and Friend was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. The cancer had spread to his liver and spine and tragically passed away 2 weeks after his diagnosis at the age of 36. Our lives will be forever changed and there is a huge loss in our lives. A group of us have come together; some who have ran before and picking up their running shoes again; some who have never ran; some ready to face a new challenge all to raise money for Bowel Cancer. It is not about how fast we can run; or even if we run it all but crossing the line and Philip cheering us on. Philip was not scared of dying as he knew exactly where he was going. He is now with his Father in Heaven. But his life on earth was too short where he tragically missed the birth of his Daughter and will miss seeing his children grow up. We are coming together different ages and sizes; with different health and fitness all because we love Philip and raising money for Bowel Cancer is close to our hearts.
