Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Supporting Macmillan in 2018
2017 was a pretty tough year for those who received dreaded news owing to all forms of cancer.
I have immediate family and friends who have been exposed to, suffered and experienced this devastating news.
For my family, my mum, Aunty Bri and Aunty Joan have all been diagnosed with breast cancer. All Sisters! Sadly, my Aunty Joan passed 17 years ago and Aunty Bri has been diagnosed recently and is fighting every day.
Whilst the research is undeniably improving, the ratio of those who will be effected by a form of cancer within their lifetime has dropped from 1 in 3 to 1 in 2!
If we have the ability to help, I feel it is our obligation to do so....
So, I have set myself a few tough tasks in 2018 to complete a pretty tough challenge.
- My First Ever 1/2 Marathon Taking Place 25th February In Headcorn
- Second 1/2 Marathon in Hastings March 2018
- Going for My First Ever Marathon In Brighton In April 2018
- Second Marathon in Bournemouth October 2018
- Completing 1000 miles throughout 2018!!!!!!
I am slightly unconfident I will succeed but I am willing to give it a damn good go to help and support those suffering from any form of Cancer.
I do not plan to bombard you with requests of donations and you can keep track of my run progress via Facebook and Nike+ with my regular updates I will post as the time ever so slowly passes!!
I'm so close to changing my mind but once posted and the first donation has been received, that is it, no going back for the commitment to complete the half marathon, full marathon and 1000KM within 365 days.
When donating, please feel free to post your story and to who you are dedicating your sponsorship to in order to show support to your loved ones, past and present.
Enough now, challenge has already begun...
