I seem to have caught the running bug a little bit. After taking part in a couple of 10ks, I'm ready to push myself a bit further and see how I fare at a half marathon (something I NEVER thought I'd have the guts to do). 

I'm running for Cavendish Cancer Care because they're a wonderful charity. I received bereavement counselling from them when I was 10 years old, when my Dad died of brain cancer. They're continuing to offer their service to cancer patients and their families completely free-of-charge, and run almost entirely on donations. I also used to work there! So I know first-hand how important every single donation and every single supporter is.

Please support the work of this amazing service by making a donation to my fundraising page. Having recently moved to York from Sheffield, I'll need as much encouragement as I can get to train without the necessary hills! Thank you.

Cavendish Cancer Care is a Sheffield charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for those living with cancer and their loved ones. Last year, they supported over 1,900 people affected by cancer, including carers and children. They offer free-of-charge packages of therapy and support, tailored to each individual's specific needs. But Cavendish only receive enough statutory funding to keep their doors open for about two weeks each year, meaning they rely on the generosity of the public to keep running. Put simply - they need your help.
