Hi

I am taking part in the Manchester Marathon despite injury as a means to not wasting this opportunity, to fight through any pain and raise money for such a worthwhile cause.

When I was 20 I sadly lost my best friend to cancer - Hodgkinsons Disease. Sadly this was diagnosed too late due to GPs not recognising and taking on board the symptoms of my friend ongoing. I strongly believe there is a greater need for improvement for early detection of cancer amongst teenagers, improved education and awareness for doctors/GPs and better facilities for teenagers being treated for cancer in hospitals.

However small a donation it will be invalid to the cause.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
