My story

 

Nicky Spinks is taking part in the Yorkshireman Off-Road Marathon which is 26.3 miles with 4000' climb run over the footpaths and tracks of the South Pennines.(www.kcac.co.uk/)

In June 2006 Nicky was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and had a mastectomy and lymph clearance in July. The test results were very good; there was no spread of the cancer and therefore she did not need chemo or radiotherapy.

I have chosen to run a "marathon" to raise money for the charities that helped me through this as I have always said I would never do a marathon; for me it will be far more of a challenge than a day on the fells.

Dawn Hopkinson was and still is an inspiration to me and I think that Challenge Cancer Through Adventure's approach to cancer is the right one (www.challengecancer.org.uk ). I am also raising money on a paper sponsorship form for Cancer Research because their website gave me the much needed but factual information I have looked for during my diagnosis.

Thank you

Nicky
