Vic runs the Paris marathon for Breast Cancer Care

Fundraising for Breast Cancer Care

Story

In April 2011 I'm going to be running the Paris Marathon in aid of Breast Cancer care. Breast cancer has unfortunately been a hot topic in my family for the last 7-8 years with my three of my aunts(Sue, Kath & Glen) having had the disease. The difficulties they and their families have faced have, at times, seemed impossible to overcome, yet they have and have all emerged smiling.

Words cannot express how proud I am of them, however, I'm hoping that in running this marathon, I can go some way towards showing them.

I'm not not usually really into running and this is going to be really difficult so please give generously and support this fantastic charity!
