Unfortunately, Jeffs battle with cancer ended on March 23rd, so this run is now dedicated to his memory! He was a fighter until the very end and will be an inspiration for years to come!!
<p>I am running the Great West Run on 6th May 2012 to raise money for Hospiscare. They're a charity that are looking after my older brother who was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2011.</p> <p>In February this year, he was informed that the cancerous cells have moved to the brain and spinal fluid. Doctors have now given him between 2 weeks and 2 months to live.</p> <p>Throughout the course of the cancer, he has remained strong, defiant and unwilling to let this illness control his life. He is an inspiration to us all and is a reminder that no matter what life may have in store, it is still possible to stay strong and keep on fighting!</p> <p>Please help me raise as much money as possible by sponsoring me to complete this half marathon. With your help, Hospiscare can continue their great work in helping and supporting patients, family and friends through what can only be described as an extremely difficult time.</p> <p>Many thanks in advance for your donation and support!!</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
