After a year's break to nurse a knee injury, I am running my 3rd Royal Parks Half - London in favor of CRIS Cancer Foundation.

The year that I have been absent I have unfortunately experienced the diagnosis of more friends and loved ones with cancer which makes the cause even more special than in the past. I will be running together with another 75 CRIS Cancer Foundation team members on behalf of all those who fight or had to fight this tough and unfair battle.

This year marks the 15th anniversary of CRIS Cancer Foundation, an international charity dedicated to funding research into pioneering new cancer treatments and to give the best possible chance of survival to patients who do not respond to conventional therapies. Since its creation in 2011, the CRIS Cancer Foundation has been committed to identifying and supporting exceptional research talent worldwide. Through their grants and fellowships, they provide scientists with the funding and long-term support they need throughout their careers to make breakthrough discoveries in cancer treatment.

Thank you for supporting us today! Your generosity is vital in the fight against cancer!
