I have never ran a day in my life so this was the obvious choice for me to do something to give back to the Christie to say thank you for everything they have done for me and my family and for the millions of people they have helped! 

My parents were both treated at some point throughout their cancer at the Christie hospital, my dad had the majority of his treatment under the care of professor Radcliffe and his amazing team, he took part in vital clinical drug trials to help them, sadly my mum passed in 2008 and my dad 2 years later in 2010. It devastated me completely and whilst over the years I have always supported in a monetary way I have always dreamed of doing more, That dream has become more and more achievable after losing 9 stone thanks to slimming world, I had to change my ways or I too could be at higher risk of developing cancer and I have a young daughter, I really didn't want her to go through what I did and lose me at a young age! After seeing the devastating results of the fire in the research building at the Christie I knew that was a sign, the time was now! I had to do something right now to help! So here I am, barking mad training for the great north run with only 19 weeks to go!! Please support me and help me achieve this dream and do something great for charity!
