Cancer patients living in Swindon requiring radiotherapy as part of their treatment currently have to travel to Oxford or Bath. To many people this can be an additional worry or problem that people already dealing with cancer should not have to deal with.

You may be lucky to have not experienced cancer first hand, but there is a feeling of helplessness that comes with seeing someone go through something so horrible. Anything that can be done to improve somebody else's experience is a step in the right direction!

This is a cause that is very close to me, so this year I am planning on running 12 races between January and December 2016, including three Half Marathons.

In addition to this, I will be doing the Brighter Futures Jump for Joy and skydiving from 10,000 feet, on Sunday 5th June.
