Dyeing my hair pink and running 100km for Breast Cancer Research
Euan Thomson is raising money for Breast Cancer Now
In memory of Chinot Thomson
Story
In October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I will be dyeing my hair pink (the colour associated with breast cancer) and running 100km throughout the month for Breast Cancer Now. As someone who's had to watch the toll that breast cancer has taken on not one, but two members of my family, this organisation is very close to my heart.
In 2011, my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer. After extensive rounds of chemotherapy it went in to remission in 2012. However this was not the end and it reappeared in 2013. Unfortunately, despite her and the amazing doctors efforts, she passed away in October of 2014
Over 11,000 people, men & women die in the UK alone from breast cancer every year.
Breast Cancer Now is an organisation which is dedicated to research regarding breast cancer and aims to have it that by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will survive and live happily.
