Story
Cancer kills more young people than any other illness in the UK. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only charity dedicated to providing expert care and support from the moment they hear the word ‘cancer’. They treat them as young people first, cancer patients second and everything they do aims to improve their quality of life and chances of survival. At the moment, for every young person Teenage Cancer Trust help, there's another they can't. Help us reach more young people with cancer by donating towards my London 10,000 challenge.
Between February and mid June I am competing in at least 8 timed run events. These are:
Feb - Barcelona Half Marathon, Thorpe Park Half Marathon Apr - Bournemouth Bay Half Marathon, Southampton Half Marathon May - Moors Valley 10k, London Vitality 10k June - Poole 10k, Ferndown 10k
Remember, less than 3 years ago, I hadn't ever run a 5k event and now its a regular occurrence for me, so further distances are about time and stamina and setting new goals and standards for myself.
Combined with Aldi linking with TCT as our new charity partner, what better way to launch this than by trying to raise money and starting our partnership with a bang! And hey, wouldn't it be nice to one of Swindon regions highest fundraisers at the same time
Whatever you can donate, no matter how small with make a difference to someone who may not be able to enjoy the quality of life that we can, so please donate.
If I can raise £400...including external donations, I'll add another half marathon in June just because I can.
And now to arrange the time off work for these runs...
Thanks everyone.
