Well this is it.....My "BALLS TO CANCER" UK Challenge! Competing in Wales, England and Scotland running 52.54miles in just 7 months :-
Cardiff Half Marathon 15/10/2006 - Finished in 1hr 58mins
Bath Half Marathon 25/03/2007 - Finished in 1hr 59 mins
Edinburgh Full Marathon (26.2miles) 27/05/2007 - Aim is to Finish!
So I've already run 26.2 miles in races, over 500 mile training and in 8 weeks it all has to come together!!
I decided to do this Challenge after experiencing something you all probably won't know about. In 2006...A life stopping moment where, following a lot of pain, I examined myself and found a huge lump on my testicle...OH MI GOD!
The care I got was fantasic and from not knowing whether I'd live to have another xmas with my 2 young boys to getting to a place of being told it's all OK, was done with such understanding of what & how I was feeling...I had to give something back.
This charity is about awareness - that us guys need to be aware and check these things so please give...and Have a Feel, it could just save your life!!!
So join me in my "Balls To Cancer" Final push to run 26.2 mile, complete my UK Challenge and help raise some money to make a difference!
Forward this to as many people you know as possible!
Many Thanks
Andy Barham
