I am running the 2022 Edinburgh Half Marathon for Macmillan Cancer Support.

At some point cancer is likely to affect everyone in one way or another - whether that through a personal diagnosis, or through supporting a loved one (or a friend or colleague).

My personal experience of MacMillan Cancer Support, in 2019, was unfortunately all too brief, but the support I received was so much appreciated. I felt listened to and I do believe that they “do whatever it takes to give people the support they need”.

I had hoped to run this in 2020, but the pandemic has meant that in both 2020 and 2021 I have only been able to run this “virtually”.  But 2022 sees a return to the event being “live”, and so on 29th May I get to do the real thing.

I’m nervous, feel rather emotional and daunted by the challenge. But your support will help me get over the finish line.

Thank you to everyone who supports me xxx
