My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Some might say I'm stupid, but I've gone and agreed to run a marathon next week with 10 days notice and very little training. I think I'd be stupid not to!

A friend of mine has just be told she has a number of tumours in her brain and will be starting chemo again shortly - she has fought and won her battles with cancer many times and is determined to do so again.

Inspired by her bravery, inner strength and determination I have promised to finish this marathon (which due to the lack of training will be my hardest yet) and to raise a little bit of valuable funding for cancer research along the way.

So for all our brave friends and family fighting this awful disease please donate whatever you can afford to and help the scientists to continue to try find a cure. They've made such massive advances in recent years, lets not make them stop now!  

Thank you

Luretta xx
