Edinburgh Marathon · 27 May 2007 ·

Women are still getting breast cancer and dying from it. That’s why Breast Cancer Campaign and Breakthrough Breast Cancer have joined forces to become the UK’s largest dedicated breast cancer research charity. And with your help, together we can put an end to breast cancer, once and for all.

Story

A few months ago I started thinking about running a marathon. As I slowly became more serious about the idea, I began looking into different events and charities that I could get behind.

My mother and her two sisters are all fortunate survivors of breast cancer, and I decided that I wanted to run for a charity that was involved in breast cancer research.

Breast Cancer Campaign is a UK based medical research charity which funds research into better treatment and diagnosis of breast cancer. This type of research aims to find new breakthroughs in preventing the disease, and may even lead to eventually finding a cure.

I am now officially on the ballot for the Edinburgh Marathon in May of 2007. My goal is to finish the marathon in 4 hours, so that gives me almost 4 months to train and raise as much money as I can to help fight breast cancer.

I owe tremendous gratitude to everyone who digs deep and supports me in what I know is going to be a great challenge. Knowing that you are behind me will certainly help me to make it through the last painful miles.
