Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.

Back in January 2021 I signed up to run Bath Half Marathon in aid of Cancer Research.  After losing a close family member to cancer it means so much to be able run in their memory, and for everyone who's lives have been affected by cancer. 

The event was due to take place in March 2021, however has now been rescheduled many times and hopefully I will finally run a half marathon on 16th October 2022! 

Running a half marathon is something I have always aspired to complete. With the need for motivation throughout lockdown I thought that I would finally bite the bullet and sign myself up.  If you would like to follow my training, feel free to give my Strava a follow. 

There are around 367,000 new cancer cases in the UK every year, that is around a 1000 everyday. Meaning about every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer.  Thanks to research now 50% of people will survive cancer.

 However after a year where vital cancer trials have been delayed, thousands of cancer screenings are being pushed back and fewer people being referred than normal (due to risk of COVID). It is more important than ever to spread awareness and help support cancer research. 

Any support and donations are hugely appreciated and really do mean so much. 

And most importantly spotting cancer early saves lives, it is always best to listen to your body and get it checked out.
