The sad reality is someone close to us, or us ourselves are likely to be affected by cancer in their/our lifetime. I want to do my bit to help get the world that little bit closer to an eventual cure and enjoy myself doing it at the same time. It's a challenge I'm really excited about and I hope you're excited enough on my behalf to support me on my journey and help cancer research do what they do best.
