Cancer is relentess. But so are we. 

If she can do it, so can I. Why I am running...

Why am I doing this? I cannot stand running and I have never understood what the rest of the world sees in it.

Well, I am doing it for all my family members who have been taken by cancer. I am doing it for the meme of my mum. I am doing it, because if my 6 year old niece Maya can fight rhabdomyosarcoma… I can run 10 kilometres.

Two weeks ago Maya won the Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Children & Young People Star Award for her fundraising efforts.

My Sircle Collection and Sir Hotels colleagues would ❤️ if you have a spare £1 to support us.

This is really hard for me.

This morning I attempted to run to work. I made it 2 km and this seems to be the limit for me, before I have to slow down and walk a little to recover.

This is due to an old knee injury and the challenge presented by carrying a little too much weight. I shall persevere though and no matter how long it will take, I shall finish this challenge.

For my relatives who have succumbed to cancer. For the memory of mum. For my niece Maya, who continues her fight.

I would love your support, even if it is just £1 you can spare. Every little bit makes a difference.

Cancer is a scary word.

Cancer is a scary word. In my family, even more so. Both sets of my grandparents, aunts, uncles, my dad and my mum. All taken by cancer.

As I type this, one of my baby nieces is fighting cancer.

It’s because of this, because of the genetic card I have probably been dealt, that I am joining my Sircle Collection UK colleagues in running to raise money for Cancer Research UK (CRUK).

If you know me, you probably know that running ain’t my thing. I hate it. But I am doing it for the memory of my mum. I am doing it for my niece Maya.

I know January has been a long month, but if you have a couple of quid, then my colleagues Mark, Sandor, Margot, Monika, Ionut, Chris and I would ❤️ your support.
