I will be running the Edinburgh Half Marathon in memory of my wonderful Dad, in his home country of Scotland - through the streets of Edinburgh where he spent his University years which he was always so fond of.

In May 2021, my dad sadly lost his life after a six month battle with Pancreatic Cancer. It was a cruel disease which saw him deteriorate so quickly without any warning signs.

I am running the Edinburgh Half Marathon for Pancreatic Cancer UK to help fundraise for continued research and support for families experiencing a familiar struggle.

It’s unacceptable that more than half of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die within 3 months. Survival rates have improved enormously for most cancers, yet for pancreatic cancer, this is not the case. Pancreatic Cancer UK is dedicated to supporting people with pancreatic cancer now, campaigning, and funding vital research to transform the future.
