I’m taking on this run in memory of my incredible nan, who we sadly lost to cancer three years ago. In 2018, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and bravely underwent intensive chemotherapy and treatment. After a tough fight, she never gave up and was given the all-clear and proudly rang the bell, a moment that filled us all with pride and hope.

Sadly, her battle was not over. Not long after, she was diagnosed again with cancer, this time near her spine. Despite her fighting extremely hard the cancer spread to her bones. Even through the toughest days, she continued to show incredible bravery, never giving up and always putting her family first.

Her strength, love, and courage will forever inspire me, and this run is my way of honouring her memory while raising awareness and support for everyone still fighting this cruel disease. There isn’t a single day that passes without her being in my thoughts, and I miss her more than words can say.
