Hi!

I will be running the half Lima42k on Sunday 20th May in Lima, Peru in aid of Make 2nds Count, a newly formed charity who raise funds for research into and to help those living with secondary breast cancer and their families.

Secondary breast cancer is breast cancer which has spread from the breast to other parts of the body. Although secondary breast cancer can be treated, there is no cure. Unlike those living with primary breast cancer, there is no end of treatment, there is no remission.

It’s estimated that 35,000 people are currently living with secondary breast cancer in the UK yet only 7% of the National funding for cancer goes towards this incurable disease. Make 2nds Count aim to address this imbalance.

Make 2nds Count has been set up by my inspirational friend, Lisa Fleming, who was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in May 2017. Lisa - who is married with a 5 year old son - refused to let her diagnosis define her. Instead, she wanted to focus her time and energy on raising funds to help fund research and raise awareness into the disease, to ensure that secondary breast cancer sufferers and their families find the cure so desperately needed.

Please give generously!
