Story

*New target set at £2000*

Hey,

thank you for visiting my page. Each year I try to raise as much money as possible to battle Cancer. 

Cancer has had a very big impact on my life. 2 years on April my mother lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting. Shortly after her passing my Step father Graham quickly became ill with a rare terminal brain cancer and lost his battle. Losing both of of my parents has been a difficult experience for myself and family members but cancer has not stopped and still continues to affect the lives of people around me. 

I am not only doing this for mum but for those that have lost their battle, those that have won their battle and those who are are still fighting their battle. 

1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime 

So what am I doing? 

Last year with the support of friends and family I was able to raise over £1000 for Cancer Relief by completing the ‘Rock Challenge’.

I am teaming  up with the Gibraltar Society Cancer Relief as I would like to help raise money. 

This year I will be attempting to complete 6 events: 

1. Top of the Rock run (completed). Held on March 12th 2023. Participants are required to sign up before the event 

2. Med Steps 5 Challenge (completed). Which is completing Med Steps 5 times consecutively. Held on April 1st 2023. Participants are required to sign up before the event 

3. 15k trail run (completed). Held on April 2nd 2023. Participants are required to sign up before the event. 

4. Gibraltar Half Marathon (completed). Sunday 16th April 2023. Participants are required to sign up before the event 

5.  Spinathon (completed). Friday 21st April, 9am-4pm outside St Bernard’s Hospital. If you would like to take part you need to contact me to book a time slot on the bike. You can jump on if there’s any bikes free. There will also be music, raffle tickets, bake sale and cancer relief providing information.
