Hearing someone has cancer is awful enough, but when that person is only 5 years old ... 

My friend Anne's wee girl, Iona, was recently diagnosed as suffering from an extremely rare and aggressive form of brain stem cancer. She has just had major brain surgery and will begin intensive radiation therapy soon. 

It's for this reason I've decided to dust off my trainers and make my return to pavements by running the Leeds Abbey Dash on 4th November for Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity who have been incredible for Anne, Iona and the whole family. Every little donation will help this charity continue it's amazing work and help people like Iona.

Thanks :)
