I'm joining Cancer Research UK's Race for Life this year. Please join the fight by digging deep and sponsoring me - it's quick, easy and totally secure.

18 months ago, my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer and shortly thereafter suffered a severe heart attack. However, he was fortunate enough to receive the best possible care and survived the heart attack. He and mum now live each and every day doing things they love and never wasting a second.

Unfortunately there are still too many family and friends who are not as lucky as dad has been, Catherine will always be with us in head and heart.

Events like this are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me, we can unite and create an army that cancer can't ignore. By sponsoring me, we will beat cancer sooner.
