Story

Hello.

I’ve struggled with trying to write this, but basically, I’m doing the Newport Half-Marathon on 28th April.

Why? I despise running.

BUT, I’m here, I’m alive, and I can.

Why?

Quite simply, to honour three very dear people, who fought so bravely in their battles with cancer, but lost: Thor Nilsson, Mick Oddy, and my big sister, Pauline. All three have had a massive impact on my life, and I miss them. They are my inspiration, to stop making excuses and just get on with it. So, that’s what I’m trying to do.

If you feel able to support me and contribute towards Cancer Research, it would mean a lot.

Thank you,

Wendy

PS. Did I mention, I HATE running!
