UPDATED NEWS! 

 

 

You have probably have all wondered ages ago why this still remains at 0. Not because I am no longer interested nor  will I ever lose motivation. 

Whilst I was in a training session to prepare for the run, I had unfortunately tore a hamstring which stopped me training for four weeks. Even worse, for almost 4 years I have suffered from "oscar schlatters syndrome" which is a genetic knee injury which makes the knee numb if doing running. It has worsened so much recently that even after running no more than 100 meters, my knee caps feel that they are going to explode which has put me off of sport which I sadly do not do that often nowadays. 

My Uncle has inspired me to never give up. Whilst he was in a hospital bed ill and not even able to walk, he still kept his humanity, his faith, his love, his Spurs pride and his Judaism. I will not give this up. If it is not running I can do, then it can be anything else. 

This year I have learnt the bitter side of life. My Uncle's death had taught me this. It had taught me that there is a time to walk out. Sadly there have been things I really wanted to tell him. I never even had the chance to hug him due to his illness of not having a immune system. 

But by doing this for charity (probably a sponsored walk of minimum 10-15km) I can honour my Uncle by never giving up. So if there is anyone who would like to kindly volunteer to help me with this charity, then not only would it mean so much to me but it will mean a lot for the victims who have lost their lives from this wicked disease called Cancer.

His last words to me before I left his hospital bed, the week before his expected date of death 18/11/2012, a date which I can never remove from my mind was to prepare to be an adult by succeeding your a-levels and to never lose hope.  

 

To those who have lost their loved ones to cancer, I know the pain too and my thoughts go to you. Those who are still fighting bravley for life and trying to not let that disease kill you, I respect you and hope you will live on. 

 

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It has been devastating ever since the loss of my uncle. He was a devout man, who always loved playing football and studying the Torah and Judaism. 8 years ago, he was diagnosed from cancer, but that still did not stop him from carrying on his life. He had got married, had four wonderful young children and carried on living his life as normal.

This was until his cancer was getting more deadlier and dangerous that he had a bone marrow transplant. It had succesfully got rid of the cancer cells, but unfortunatley, due to not having an immune system, he had became increasingly ill. Every week, I would vist my uncle in hospital, where he would just lie down in his hospital bed and try entertaining himself by watching his favourate shows on telly. The last time I vististed him was the week before he died. As I put on my coat and I was about to leave, knowing that this may be the last time I would ever see him again, he told me that all he ever wanted me to do, was to not worry about his illness, and to move on and do well in my A-levels and succeed in life.

Sadly, I never got to tell him that I was running for him for charity.

I would like people of my school, synagogue and anyone else who understands, to donate whatever amount you wish to give, either through via this page or in school. 

Thank you for reading this.
