Nearly a year ago, my lovely Dad passed away after a very brave and courageous battle with Cancer
I have chosen to run the London Landmarks Half Marathon in his memory, which will be a challenge for me as the furthest I've ever run is 10K!
Mark is running too and together we are raising money for BacZac, a brilliant local charity who support young adults with cancer. I think Dad would have been very supportive of the work they do- providing meal vouchers to young adults who are receiving hours of chemotherapy but aren't entitled to a meal. They give grants to families with a young adult suffering with cancer which can be used for a day out, or to help with the financial burden that families are having to deal with.
BacZac aim is to be able to fund respite holiday accommodation for these families. You can read more about the charity below or at https://www.baczachislegacy.org/
So, for all of you who have been on the receiving end of a Colin hug or handshake....please dig deep and give what you can - we really appreciate your support. Love Katy and Mark xxx

BacZac His Legacy is a charity that has been created by the family and friends of Zac Forskitt.Zac at the age of 20 was diagnosed with 2 rare forms of cancer, both friends in Northampton and Nottingham where Zac was at University studying, with the aid of patrons of Old Northamptonians pulled together to create #BacZac. The selling of #BacZac beanies along with many fundraising efforts, people looked to raise money to support not only Zac but his family with the many obstacles along the way.In a testament to Zac and the impressions he had made, more money was raised then was ever imaginable. But unfortunate in March 2016 Zac lost his brave and courageous battle, it was soon decided from the experiences Zacs family had experienced that a legacy would be created in Zacs honour, helping other young adults going through similar trials and tribulations.In November 2017 BacZac his Legacy was awarded Charity Status, a very poignant moment for all those involved.
