Story

Like so many others, I have seen how cancer can cruelly impact the lives of so many of my friends and family.

In the past year, bowel cancer has taken my close friend's husband and had a family member on a journey of chemoradiotherapy and surgery.

David was only 44 years old, when he passed in September 2023 after a 2 year courageous fight.

When Karen said that the Great North Run was on what would have been their 6th Wedding Anniversary, it was a no brainer that I would be her side.

Bowel Cancer UK supports everyone who is affected by bowel cancer. They fund research that improves the prevention, early detection and treatment of the disease.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Every penny counts. ♥️
