My name is Nicholas Gibbons and I have decided to take part in this years Sheffield 10km.

Cavendish Cancer Care is a cause worth running for. Cancer is something that has affected us all with close friends and family. It has brought adversity and challenge at every given moment.

Adversity effect us all in many ways. Life challenges can stifle us all and trigger spirals of insecurity, fear and low self esteem. We have all had our battles through this journey of life and I have found that there is nothing more impactive to overcome a challenge than setting a target and focussing to achieve it.

I have had many challenges in life, one significant challenge is that whilst on operations oversees I got my right leg blown off, which makes this race that bit harder.

My challenge is to run this 10km in under 55mins.

It is my job to show people and everyone who takes time to support this page that YOU can overcome whatever challenge you face and smash through the walls of uncertainty. React positively, push yourself both mentally and physically to remind yourself who you are and what motivates you to keep pushing every day you wake up. How bright can you shine? supporting others through their challenge as well as your own?

If you want to spread the act of support and keep flying the flag of self belief then please support the charity below, support me and most importantly support yourself.

See you at the finish Line.

Nick

*****Cavendish Cancer Care is a Sheffield charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for those living with cancer and their loved ones.

Last year, they supported over 1,900 people affected by cancer, including carers and children. They offer free-of-charge packages of therapy and support, tailored to each individual's specific needs. But Cavendish only receive enough statutory funding to keep their doors open for about two weeks each year, meaning they rely on the generosity of the public to keep running. Put simply - they need your help.*****
