Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

HELLO

I'm Rebekah, and as you know I am passionate about supporting important causes and in helping to restore the ruins in our world!

I am privileged to have not had much contact with cancer directly, with neither myself or close relatives having suffered, however for many of us this is not the case.

Motivated by some of the incredible lives of friends who have had their family & partners affected by cancer, I am running a half marathon and a full marathon this year for two different cancer charities.

Together we can beat cancer.

Please support my two fundraising challenges this year.

Many thanks & blessings,

Rebekah
