In May, I’ll take part in the Edinburgh Half Marathon in memory of my dad who very sadly passed away last year from pancreatic cancer. My dad had always been a healthy and active man so his terminal diagnosis came as a huge shock to us all, especially because he had no symptoms before he was given the news. My dad was a true gentleman and an inspiration to his friends and family. He fought his illness with courage and dignity. The money I raise will to go towards researching pancreatic cancer in the hope that, one day, other people have a chance to beat it. A chance my dad wasn’t given. As I run the Half marathon, every step of the way I’ll be thinking of my dad, my hero!!!
