So....we have decided to run (hopefully) a marathon, because who doesn't love a scary, unrealistic, but exhilarating challenge....right?! 

The motivation to do this exciting and enormous challenge has come from the wonderfully inspiration Samantha Issacson, who Kate became friends with at University. Sam has been kicking cancers butt since she was diagnosed at the age of 25 with terminal bowel cancer. Sam is now 29 and has recently finished her 80th bout of chemo. Sam has also received additional treatment called SIRT which has been deemed successful. Since Sams diagnosis she has travelled the world, continued to play for her beloved football team Fulbourn FC and has inspired people to fundraise £40,000 for Addenbrookes Charitable Trust ACT. 

For both Sarah and I the biggest challenge we could face is completing a marathon, so here goes! At Sams request we are thrilled to be joining the Bowel Cancer UK team and we hope you are inspired by Sam and our crazy antics leading up to, what will hopefully be a successful 26mile run in London on the 28th April 2019....we are almost there!
