When I was asked if I'd run the half marathon to raise money for Cancer research by one of my young riders who had just lost her mum, the answer was an immediate yes!!

I lost my dad to cancer and a number of friends along the way and want to raise as much as possible to support the charity and hopefully help find cures so fewer people suffer the same loss.

This is going to be horrendous for me as I hate running and my knees and ankles will be seriously punished, so please dig deep :)
