Hi everyone, 

I'm taking part in the Great North Run to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK, after losing my aunt, Catherine, in May of this year. 

Bowel Cancer UK is the UK's leading bowel cancer charity and are determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer. 

Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer with over 16,000 people dying annually. I'm determined to help Bowel Cancer UK to change that. The money you donate will help to provide support and information to patients and their families, enable them to fund and support research into bowel cancer and to campaign for early diagnosis and best treatment and care for all.

For Catherine, and for everyone who these donations can benefit.
