In February 2010 my Mum lost her 4 year battle with cervical cancer.  Over those four years the cancer spread to her brain, lungs and lymph system, leaving her in hospital for 6 weeks at one point and blind for the last year of her life.  All of this was completely avoidable, as her smears were read incorrectly over 15 years.

After her death my dad set up a charity, Debbie Fund, to raise money for research into a cure for cervical cancer, as there was no specific research into this beforehand.

Mo and I are running the marathon for Debbie Fund along with 2 other runners.  We were both pretty chubs and unfit as youngsters, so this will be a massive challenge for both of us.

Please sponsor us whatever you can, we will love you forever, and you will be helping UCL take the next step towards finding a cure for cervical cancer.
