Story
So...more running!! :) Two marathons down and, before I completely destroy my body (if you haven't heard the 'foot' story, you clearly haven't been around me enough recently!!), I thought it was only right that I run Birmingham Half in aid of Cancer Research at the University of Birmingham.
If you are fortunate enough not to be touched by this cruel disease, count yourself very lucky. By joining a team of alumni, staff and students from the University, I hope to raise a small amount of money for one of the leading UK Cancer centres, which is making significant advances in fighting this devastating disease
Cancer researchers at the University have:
Reduced early diagnosed breast cancer mortality rates by 30%
Found ways of diagnosing childhood cancers without invasive procedures
Run a drug trial, which could reduce the risk of bladder cancer recurring by a third
Significantly increased the survivability of prostate cancer
Totally worth, knocking out 13.1 miles in aid of something so important (even if it means I may never wear some of my favourite peep toes again). THANK YOU to all of you who have supported this cause so far.
