Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In October I will be running the Manchester Half Marathon in order to raise awareness and support to Macmillan Cancer Support.

Cancer has affected everyone in one way or another. After my diagnosis of skin cancer around 3 years ago, I am forever grateful for the support I have and still receive from Macmillan. At the age of 23 - as a very health and fitness conscious young girl - hearing and processing you've been diagnosed with stage 1 skin cancer was tough. Although thanks to Macmillan's support during my journey I never felt alone.

I also want to continue to raise awareness of skin cancer; the importance of looking after your skin through daily sun protection and the importance of an early diagnosis by sharing my story.

So I am hoping to contribute even in the slightest towards Macmillan's wonderful work and support by running my first half marathon.

Of course I will have a music playlist spinning throughout my run! So for every £5 donated a track can be added to my playlist - no skips allowed, promise! Please comment or message me the track name & artist.

Any support is hugely appreciated! Liv x
