In memory of Domenico (Nico) Gallo
We fund research into oesophageal cancer to to raise awareness and save lives

Story

I'm running the Edinburgh Marathon in 2016 for ProstateCancerUK (see the link below) but I also wish to run for Ochre.

I'm hoping to raise money for Ochre, The Oesophageal Cancer charity, in memory of my Uncle Nico who sadly lost a short but devastating battle with the illness. Not enough is known about detecting oesophageal cancer, so it is creeping up the charts as one of the most lethal cancers with many diagnoses coming only when the growth is large enough to stop someone eating or drinking. It is a horrific thing to witness and awareness is needed.
