My husband, John Gorham, died of Oesophageal Cancer in 2018 and I this is my way of raising awareness and funds for HCUK who help to support individuals diagnosed with this type of cancer.

It is time for my next challenge in John’s name.  I aim
to complete 10 marathons in 10 days in May.

John and I used to run together before his illness took a hold and he was no longer able to run. He still supported me in my fundraising efforts during his many surgeries, chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions. I miss him running beside me but I continue, running alone, in the hope that by raising awareness of this disease, it may prevent another premature death

This is my way of raising awareness and funds for this charity who help to support individuals diagnosed with this type of cancer. It is a tiny contribution to help in any way I can to make sense of such a loss.  I continue to run because he can't....
