Story

Hello there!

Thank you for visiting my page.  I am running the Great North Run this year not only to get fit and get back into running but because I'd like to raise some money for Cancer Research UK.

Cancer really scares me.  After seeing my lovely Dad suffer so horribly from cancer I don't want it to taint the lives of anyone I know and love ever again.  I don't want to think that it could affect anyone close to me, but now and then I do, and it frightens me.

My dad passed away in 2008 along with 156,722 other people who lost their fight against cancer.   In the UK, more than one in three people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime - the odds aren't very comforting. 

Help me to raise some money to aid research into finding out what causes cancer, ways to treat it and ultimately, how to prevent it.

No one should have to go through what my dad went through but people do, every day.

Any amount you can donate is gratefully received.  

Thank you

Kala xx
