Getting it done for Nath!
Jacqueline Brackin is raising money for Bowel Cancer UK
In memory of Nathan Scarlett
Story
Nathan, a great friend and the husband of one of my best friends, died from Bowel Cancer last year. But it is not his death that has inspired me to run this race, it is the way he lived his life and, particularly, the way he faced cancer. He loved and laughed and shared his spirit and his wine with all those who crossed his path.
Yet he is not the only inspiration…I witness, from afar, Jacqueline, his wife, continue life with the same dignity, grace and generosity, despite her loss.
These two people inspire me to push myself beyond what I thought were my limits.
This is to honour them both.
Bowel Cancer UK works to ensure early detection of bowel cancer. If Nathan's cancer had been detected earlier, he would most likely be running with us. Any amount would be kindly appreciated.
Nathan, un gran amigo y marido de una de mis mejores amigas, murió de cancer de colon con solo 38 años el año pasado. Pero, no es su muerte lo que me ha inspirado para correr esta carrera, sino la manera en la manera en la que vivió y se enfrentó al cancer. Repartía amor, se reía, compartía su espíritu de lucha y otra de sus pasiones, su vino (era vinicultor) con todos los que se cruzaba su camino.
Pero no es el única inspiración..., Jacqueline, su mujer, continua su vida con lo misma dignidad y generosidad, a pesar de su perdida y sufrimiento.
Esto es un homenaje a los dos.
Bowel Cancer UK trabaja para detectar el cancer de colon más pronto. Si el cancer de Nathan hubiera sido detectado mas temprano, el estaría corriendo con nosotros. Cualquier donación será bienvenida.
