Story
I am going to be taking part in the great Scottish run half marathon on the 5th of October to raise money for unite against cancer🤍
Unite Against Cancer was established in 2012 by my stepdad, whose little brother Christopher was, at the time, battling a rare form of cancer called osteosarcoma. The charity was created to raise money for research into new alternative treatments and to educate and inform people about cancer prevention. Sadly, Christopher passed away in June 2012, aged just 17.
Fast forward to now—my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer in October last year and is currently undergoing chemotherapy in London, having had to relocate to receive the treatment.
My mums diagnosis and ongoing aggressive battle with cancer has deeply effected me and my family and those close to us so I’m taking on the Glasgow Half Marathon this October to raise vital funds for this worthy cause and play my part in helping to end this awful disease.
Please support my fundraising efforts by making a small donation. 💛
