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.
