I've always wanted to do the Great North Run, being from South Shields Ive always watched it on tv or out on the street every year since I can remember ...so this year I've decided to do it and do it for charity.
Heres why I chose 'Beating Bowel Cancer' ...
When I was very young (about4 ) I lost my granda to this very horrible disease so I would like to do this run in his memory.(thats me and him in the display pic)
Two years ago my dad was diagnosed also with bowel cancer, this was undoubtedly the worst piece of news we ever heard but almost two years on after surgery and treatment thankfully we can look back and say he beat it and we are grateful every day for that.( my dad has also raised thousands for a local cancer charity )
I would like to raise awareness of this charity and raise as much money as I can..I hope you agree that this is such a worth while cause and I know many peoples lives are affected by cancer everyday. Here are some statistics taken from the Beating Bowel Cancer website :
" Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cause of cancer deaths. Around 1 in 18 people will get bowel cancer and, of the 100 people diagnosed every day, almost half will die of the disease. Yet, in over 90% of cases, bowel cancer could be treated successfully if diagnosed early, which is why raising awareness is so important. "
