Story

When people you know are suffering, and those people are really strong and resilient people, what do you do? Well I run... 

I'm running for two pretty amazing people.  

My friend Sarah James! She's pretty inspiring. In the space of only a few years Sarah and her brothers lost both their Mum and Dad to this horrendous disease - a disease that should be well extinct by now. At the age of 28, I can't even contemplate how it might feel to have your whole world torn apart like that. I've known Sarah since we were in reception class together, and I can only say how much I have been blown away by her strength throughout everything that she has been through. 

and Kevin Waterman! Ryan's Dad. Kevin has just finished months worth of Chemotherapy, but would you believe it? Kevin hasn't once ever complained, felt sorry for himself or expected anything from anyone, despite feeling absolutely awful a lot of the time. He is amazing!! 

I want to stop those closest to me from having to suffer like this. In fact I want to stop anyone ever having to suffer like this full stop! 

Please help me to help Cancer Research make Cancer extinct! something people read about only in history books. 

Even just £1 can make a difference, so please dig deep! 

Thanks :D xxxx
