This is for the Quiet Cancer Appeal Fund 311
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to sponsor me.
Earlier this year a close friend, Nicki was diagnosed with Neuroendocrine Cancer of the Pancreas. It's very rare for someone so young to be diagnosed with this type of tumour, and one of the scariest things about it is the apparent lack of early symptoms. It's become known as The Quiet Cancer because, unfortunately by the time the tumour has been diagnosed, it has already spread and is incurable.
Watching Nicki cope so bravely, in such a horrible situation, made me want to do some good on her behalf. So after a lifetime of gym avoidance, I am running The Grazia Women's 10K on October 24th. The money I raise will be going to 'The Quiet Cancer Appeal' - which goes to a specialist unit at The Royal Free Hospital researching new treatments, not only for patients with Neuroendocrine Cancer, but also more common cancers like breast and lung cancer.
I would really appreciate your sponsorship - I cannot stress how much I hate running, please don't make me do it for nothing !! Feel free to come along to Victoria Park if you fancy a good laugh at my expense!
Make sure you choose the gift aid option too - it means the charity can reclaim the tax and make even more money, without you paying a penny extra
Thanks xx
