In September 2020 my wonderful dad lost his battle against cancer after a courageous 2 year battle. He was on a waiting list to receive a stem cell transplant, but this was delayed, partly due to the Covid-19 pandamic. During the last months of his life, my dad received wonderful care through the Hope Against Cancer charity at Leicester Royal Infirmary.

It is my 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.
