Myself, my husband Russell and brother in law Ben are running the Cardiff half marathon on October 4th to raise money for the Sir Gareth Edwards cancer charity.

October the 4th will mark almost a year since I finished 4 months of chemotherapy following my own cancer diagnosis, and what a way to mark it by running a half marathon and hopefully raising some money for this wonderful charity.

The Sir Gareth Edwards charity provided me and my family with a grant which helped support us financially to cover childcare during the time of treatment. We also received two sets of lovely pyjamas for our two boys, a lovely personal touch which put the biggest smiles on their faces, a priceless feeling during some difficult times.

The financial and personal support provided by the charity to young people with cancer is invaluable and we would love to give back.
