Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. My Mother had breast cancer and my lovely wife Gill works for Breast Cancer Haven in Hereford which means than I know what wonderful support the charity offers.
I only took up running four years ago and have definitely 'got the bug'. Having completed a few half marathons, I finally did my first ever full marathon in NY last November in under 4 hours. I want to achieve a better time in Berlin which is a flat, fast course so hopefully I can do it and also raise some much needed funds for this very worthy charity.
Here's what one Hereford breast cancer patient had to say about the Haven,
“There is an atmosphere of support and acceptance on stepping into the building and the support of other Visitors through shared experience. The counselling has really helped me to tackle a lot of the personal stuff around the cancer in a way no-one else can and it has helped me deal with family issues which impinge on my health. The Nutrition got me sorted and more in control with the natural feelings of helplessness and the yoga has been terrific for the post op and feelings of physical and spiritual wellbeing. The Art Therapy has potential which I have not fully explored. In summary, the Haven has given me huge support and strength to cope with the huge fears and unknowingness of cancer. They still lurk but no longer overwhelm me”.
Please help them continue to support thousands of men and women across the region.
