I am running the rock and roll half marathon in Liverpool in October. So I thought, as I am lucky to have some wonderful friends, 2 of them have had to battle cancer this year. They are strong, brilliant, warriors and have been great friends to me. I can't do anything to help with their illness, but I can run, and in doing so, I can raise money for their favourite charities.
My 13.1 miles are nothing compared to what they and all the other cancer warriors have gone through, especially in the last couple of years. They have quite literally, had to go through this alone. Imagine having to go through the worst period of life on your own, with loved ones waving you in from the door, not allowed to come in and hold your hand due to restrictions.
I am in awe of them, I am honoured to know them and hopefully I can do them justice and raise lots of money for good causes
