Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For a while now I’ve wanted to run a half marathon but always been hesitant about signing up because once you do there’s no going back. But something I’ve realised recently is that we never know what’s around the corner, so we need to take every opportunity whilst we can.

Over 7000 people are diagnosed with cancer each week in the UK. Cancer is a life changing disease and majorly impacts people’s day to day lives. In this day and age it’s seems so confusing to think that cancer is still taking so many loved ones from us.

I hope that in running this half marathon and raising money for Yorkshire cancer research I can at least make a small difference in the fight against this horrible disease. I understand that times are hard for many people all over the UK but if anyone is able to spare a penny or two and donate to Yorkshire cancer research it would be greatly appreciated.

I also hope in completing this half marathon I’m able to encourage others to take that step and do something you are scared of. By taking those steps you are opening yourself up to a whole new world of possibilities.

Thank you so much to anyone who is able to donate and if you aren’t able to at this time sharing this page would also be a great help. ☺️

Again thank you so much,

Niamh x
