It is our wish, and the wish of fellow runners from Huncote Harriers, to run a half marathon through Leicester in memory of all those who have lost their lives to cancer or are fighting cancer during the pandemic. The run will take place on 11th April 2021 and will include a lap around the Leicester Royal Infirmary. In doing so we hope to raise as much money as possible to help Hope Against Cancer fund their new £1.5 million expansion at Leicester Royal Infirmary.Thankyou so much for taking the time to read this. Any donations you make will be gratefully received.

We are a small group of runners who all met through the Couch to 5K programme at Huncote Harriers. For me, going from zero exercise to planning a 1/2 marathon is a massive achievement. My running group has helped me so much through Covid - just the outlet of meeting up outside and running together has been amazing. This challenge is in honour of two of our group who have lost loved ones to cancer during the pandemic. We have all faced our own challenges this year and training and supporting each other with this run means so much to all of us. Thank you for reading this and thank you so much for any donations.
