A little while ago, I was informed my Uncle Dale had been diagnosed with incurable cancer. 

This is obviously the kind of news that everyone dreads to receive. There's no easy way of delivering or receiving news like this.

My Aunt Melaine, Dale's mother Joyce (my nan), his daughters Cara, Stephanie and Georgia (my cousins), his siblings Joy, Martin and Sandra (my mother) have all had their world turned upside down.

Dale being Dale, has been extremely strong and accepting of this bombshell and is somehow maintaining his supportive nature for his entire family.

Dale has started a blog. This is updated every day and is an inspirational insight on what it's like dealing with terminal cancer. He hopes that it might possibly help anyone also trying to deal with this destructive disease, as well as putting an humorous edge on it. You can read it here......

My Dad and I signed up to run the Edinburgh Marathon at Xmas. At the time I thought of a few charities to raise money for. Now, it seems obvious that we should run to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. It's a fantastic charity that provides support and information for not only the diagnosed but loved ones too.

Donating money to charity can seem risky, sometimes you don't know if the money is going where it needs to. But with the following link below, the money goes directly to Macmillan and is completely safe and secure in regards to credit card payments.

Will you please donate what you can afford to this worthy cause?

We were going to attempt the marathon and have a nice weekend in Edinburgh. We now have a personal reason to kick the marathons ARSE. And we will complete it, even if we have to carry each other over the line.

Please share this regularly between now and 29th May. And please donate what you can afford.

Thank you so much.

Dave Snr and Dave Jnr.
