We are sisters, Helen and Penny, and we are running "The Double" for the Throat Cancer Foundation which is a brand new charity. To complete the Double we will be running in the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday May 26th 2013 , and in the New York Marathon on Sunday 3rd November 2013.

We run in memory of our Dad (Pops), Michael Scott-Evans who died at the young age of 65 years from cancer of the larynx. He had lived with the disease for just over two years after first being diagnosed in March 2006. Dad underwent all the possible treatments available , laser, radiotherapy, surgery to remove his voice box and finally chemotherapy. Dad never complained once about his illness and he showed tremendous strength of character.

When the running gets tough and the weather is against us, we think of Dad, and how strong he was, and this makes us determined to keep going. We want to give something back in his memory, and we would like to raise £1500.00 for the Throat Cancer Foundation. We hope this will help create awareness of this new charity which supports research, and campaigns for the prevention and cure for all types of throat cancer..
