Suneel's Rutland Marathon 2015
Fundraising for Pelican Cancer Foundation
Story
Hello everyone,
It is now just one month until I run The Rutland Marathon 2015 on 27th September 2015. Once you have read the summary below of my father's experience with colon cancer, I hope you will understand my decision to run in aid of the Pelican Cancer Foundation. At this point I will hand over to the main man;
"In the year 2000 (aged 52) I was diagnosed with cancer of the colon, fortunately very early stages, when I went for a check-up regarding my 'piles'. I underwent major abdominal surgery and everything turned out okay. I spent the next 13 years working overseas and returned to the UK as a retired person in 2013.
To my surprise, I was reconnected to the same Consultant Surgeon, Mr. Brendan J MORAN, at Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital for my ongoing regular check-ups, much needed for a patient like me. I am extremely pleased to say that the service I have had from the Colorectal Unit for the past 2 years has been excellent. So, when Suneel decided to run The Rutland Marathon, he had no hesitation to donate the entire collection to the Pelican Cancer Foundation. I thank you son and hand over back to you."
The last 15 years have flown by and as you now know, I have finally decided to give something back and say thank you. I was just 14 (my sister 10 and my brother 6) back in the year 2000 and now cannot imagine all those years without the most important man in my life. Whether you know him as Ashok or Ash, I hope you are able to give generously to support the fantastic work done by the team at Pelican.
I have no target time or total, I will do my very best and I hope that you can do the same.
Thank you for reading and for your contribution.
