My lovely Dad passed away from oral cancer related cancer on 14th April 2017. I started running in 2020 with the Couch25K app and still run regularly. I have been involved in dentistry for 22 years and this is becoming more and more of an occurrence in practice. Please get any lumps or bumps in your mouth or neck, that have been there for more than 2 weeks, checked by your Dentist or Hygienist!. I am looking forward to completing my first ever live race with my running buddy, Tigs Smith and raising some money for an amazing charity at the same time! Thank you so much for reading and donating.

You can also support the charity's self examination campaign or order a copy of the Easy to Swallow Cookbook.
