OK, back stories first, Sam and Charmaine are colleagues of mine at Morrisons Lake on the Isle of Wight, going back.... 15 years (i think). They are happily married and have 2 beautiful girls. Then in the autumn of 2021 Sam developed acute abdominal pain, after not thinking much of it for a few weeks he was encouraged to seek medical advice. Sadly after a series of tests he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.

At around the same time another long term work colleague received some equally sad news. Back in the Summer of 2020, Cheryl Potts was diagnosed with a rare form of Mediastinal Germ Cell cancer. After surgery, chemo and radiotherapy along with a lot of love and support she was able to survive and began rebuilding her life. Then a few months later her cancer came back with a vengeance. After more treatment the doctors sadly came to the conclusion that no more could be done.

The moral of this story is Cancer SUCKS! it doesn't have feelings, morals and kills indiscriminately. So to help make the remaining time left as amazing as possible Amy and myself will be running Brighton Half Marathon!

Any donations will be gratefully received by these wonderful families.
