Put so eloquently by someone else as i would not be able to put it better. This is for me to raise money to do my bit to help. I'm running the reading half marathon and if you would like to sponsor me:

This is Anna's story:



In April 2016 she was diagnosed with a Stage 4 incurable lung cancer (primary enteric adenocarcinoma). The hardest thing for her to do was to tell her family and friends and share the grief, which is why until now many of you did not know her situation. Those who did know have been there to support her every step of the way through the scariest and worst time of her life.

Every three weeks Anna visits The Royal Marsden Cancer Clinic and has chemotherapy. She has been doing this for the last 8 months. A pretty grueling regime, but this is Anna we are talking about, and unsurprisingly she has completely amazed all of us, taking it all in her stride with that big beaming smile on her face. Sadly, her latest scans have shown that the chemotherapy is no longer working and the cancer is growing!

For all of you who know Anna like we do, she is a fighter and it is no different now!!! She refuses to give up and believes that she can defy the odds and beat this horrible disease...but she can't do it on her own.

Anna is already an inspiration to so many people (which she really doesn’t like to hear) and she isn't ready to give up yet. She has a mission, a mission to raise money. She has set herself a number of challenges already this year starting with a Dryathlon for January and February, as well as some other exciting events, such as; My Marsden March, Ben Nevis, Ironman 70.3 (Barcelona) and a Parachute Jump to name a few.

The money she raises will be split between three very worthy causes:
