Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I did GNR last year more as just a challenge for myself. Unfortunately this time I have more serious reason to do it. My best friend's mum suddenly died this year, she had stomach cancer, and it happened so fast, I do not think I have ever seen more heart broken person in my entire life than my friend now. So I am doing it in her memory and for a hope to help other people. It terrifies me how quick and inevitable cancer might be and how much damage it can cause to people's lives, and until certain moment we all think and hope that it will never become a part of our life, but sadly you never know for sure. Besides, when you're young, you have that amazing feeling of being protected from absolutely everything, any kind of illness, you believe that you'll stay young for the rest of your life or even gonna live forever. What I've realized by now that no one is safe, but life is the most beautiful thing we sometime take for granted, wether it's our relative or even our own. We fight with each other over many things that seem to be important, we argue and offend each other and then we take offense and we complain and waste all that time and energy on the things we can't even control and that will not matter in time, instead I try to get myself running and realize that if I'm not even in control of my own body when it starts aching after 10 minutes, then how can I be bothered about other things, then I run in the crowd and see elder people running and I'm questioning myself if they can do it then surely I should be able to. My grandmother still does very simple morning work out and stretching, because she knows that as long as she can reach her toes with her fingers she will live, live for her children and grandchildren. So moving, just keep moving, because while there's move there's life, and where's life there's hope.
