I am participating on Sunday 1st May 2022 #RunningforRuth to raise awareness and funds for the Ruth Strauss Foundation.

I will also continue with my challenge to pursue 45 minutes of exercise/15000 steps for the next 45 consecutive days.

The Ruth Strauss Foundation work to support families with dependent children, who are facing the death of a parent. Their mission is to help families access professional emotional support when facing the death of a parent, and drive the need for more research & collaboration in the fight against non-smoking lung cancer. 

As a Thoracic Surgeon, I am passionate about improving outcomes for my patients with lung cancer and believe we need to do more to support families and pursue novel research in this field, particularly non-smoking related lung cancer. 

Please kindly make a donation to support this worthy cause and encourage me to complete my personal challenge.
