My name is Owen Cooper, and in September this year I am running the Great North Run (Half Marathon) with my father in memory of my auntie Kelly Elson who unfortunately passed away on the 5th June 2012, only 55 years of age. What my family and I went through was hard painful, and difficult. 

Cancer Research has a big place in my heart, as i already volunteer in the shop in Skipton, North Yorkshire. However I know myself that I can always do more! And that's why I am here - so someone else can avoid the loss of a loved one like we had. 

I would be so grateful if you were to donate something! No matter how big or small, every little helps. Thank you very much guys!!
