Story

First in Catalan, English below...El pròxim 12 de març, faré la meva segona (i segurament última) marató, la Marató de Barcelona. M'agrada correr i normalment intento a esforçar-me però en aquest cas el meu sol objectiu és d'acabar-la. He triat una ONG de càncer perquè aquesta malaltia els ha afectat i continua afectant als meus amics i a la meva familia. De fet, faré aquesta cursa en memòria de la meva cosina Alison que es va morir fa poc més de 6 anys. 

He triat aquesta ONG, Worldwide Cancer Research, en concret perquè dona suport a la recerca de càncer a tot arreu del món, inclouent a Escòcia i la resta del Regne Unit, però també a Barcelona, el lloc on visc, que considero casa meva i on també conec a molta gent afectada per aquesta malaltia.

Es pot trobar tota la informació sobre aquesta ONG a la seva pàgina web (en anglès) però ara us en faré cinc cèntims: donen suport financier a projects de recerca a 22 països diferents. A Escòcia, hi ha 12 projects de recerca actius treballant sobre el càncer en general, càncer d'intestí, càncer de pancrees, càncer de mama i mieloma. A Barcelona, hi ha 11 projectes actius treballant sobre el càncer de pell, càncer de pulmó, càncer de mama, linfoma no Hodgkin, leucèmia, càncer d'intestí i càncer de boca i llavis.

Si podeu fer algún donatiu sigui quant sigui, us ho agraïria molt, es pot fer aqui per la pàgina aquest o a mi en persona.

Now in English...On 12th March 2017 I'll do my second (and most likely last) marathon, the Barcelona Marathon. I like running and usually try to push myself but my only objective in this race is to finish. I've chosen a cancer charity because this disease has greatly affected and continues to affect my friends and my family. I will be running in memory of my cousin Alison who passed away just over 6 years ago.

I've chosen the Worldwide Cancer Research charity because it funds research acrosss the world, including in Scotland and the UK, but also in in Barcelona, the city I live in, which I consider my home and where I also know many people affected by this disease.

You can find all the information about this charity on its website but I'll summarize a little here: they have projects in 22 different countries. In Scotland there are 12 active research projects focussing on general cancer research, bowel cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and myeloma. In Barcelona, they currently have 11 active projects focussing on skin cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphomy, leukaemia, bowel cancer and mouth and lip cancer.

If you could donate anything, I'd really appreciate it.
