Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last October we lost my wife's aunt to skin cancer at a rather young 66 years of age.  Despite her illness over a number of years she remained positive, serene and caring of others right till the end.  We wanted to do something in her memory and to celebrate the spirit that she displayed right through.

When recently Citibank informed staff of an opportunity to run this half marathon and that their chosen charity was Cancer Research UK, we saw it as just the occasion we were seeking.  Not having jogged even a few k's since last 10-12 years this half was a true challenge (I was petrified for the first month after signing up!), a befitting reflecting of our Aunt's spirit of positivity and caring as I try to complete it - dare I say it - in under 3 hours.

Cancer has claimed too many lives and probably has touched each  of us in some way.  However there is more and stronger hope now for cures for specific types of cancer and indeed for more generic yet economic methods to treat multiple types of cancers.  Come, help strengthen the efforts in this battle by contributing generously to Cancer Research UK which is doing stellar work to make cancer a past tense.
