Before you Scoff & Roll your eyes 

At yet another charity form to sign

I ask you please to read below 

Then make up your mind before you go.

13 Miles you are my mission 

Blood, Sweat & Tears in my crap condition

But strap on my trainers i did you see

In the name of a charity so dear to me

2 years ago almost to the day 

My mum was threatened, to be taken away 

The word Cancer it, had entered our home 

A word so awful we were tore to the bone 

But fight on we did, as it was all we could do

Nothing can prepare for the changes in you

Such courage & strength shown, when I had none

Now I carry it with me on every run

We caught it early, we are the lucky ones

Such amazing research means I still have my mum

But not all are so lucky and are taken too soon

I’ve seen it first hand the sadness and gloom

But remember this, every pound makes a difference

To beat this disease with drive & persistence

So if you see me pounding the streets

Give me a wave or even a beep

Whether you donate for your story, or mine

Ill carry you all with me over the finish line.
