Those of you close to me know why this is important, I want to raise some money for Macmillan and the work they do to support people affected by cancer. I recently started training for August’s run, and the Holme Pierrepont Running Club Grand Prix has shown I can do it!! I have run 29.5k (18.5 miles) in two weeks!  Every step of the way I’ve been inspired by all the people I know affected by cancer and you have all spurred me on....

In the UK, someone somewhere is diagnosed with cancer every couple of minutes. Every day 17 people in Nottinghamshire hear this devastating news. The good news is although the incidence of cancer is increasing, treatment and survival rates are improving with more people than ever before surviving cancer in Notts.

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with cancer, MacMillan can help.
