Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year, my dear friends Hannah and Vince Gauci lost their gorgeous little boy, Sacha, very suddenly to a rare and aggressive brain tumour. He was just two years old. Sacha received wonderful care at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. The doctors were, very sadly, unable to save him, but thankfully Sacha didn't suffer.

In Sacha's memory, Vince and Hannah have decided to raise money for World Child Cancer. This amazing charity works to improve cancer diagnosis, treatment and care for some of the world’s poorest children. It is estimated that at least 100,000 children with cancer die every year from a lack of diagnosis and basic treatment – all of them in low and middle income countries. Yet with generic drugs and relatively simple medical procedures, the majority of these children can be saved. As it is, many are dying needlessly, with nothing more than paracetamol to relieve their pain.

So, I'm doing my bit to help. A 10k-run may seem fairly modest, but I am not a natural runner - 5k is the most I've ever done, so for me it's going to be tough. Raising money for this fantastic cause is the motivation I need - please help if you can. Thank you so much.
