That’s Why:

This February, I’ll be running the Winter Series 10K to raise awareness and funds for Cancer Research, a cause that is extremely close to my heart.

Over the years, cancer has impacted many of my loved ones. Most recently, we lost our beloved grandfather, “Grampy,” to lung cancer in 2023. He was the patriarch of our family, and his passing came just weeks after he was diagnosed.

I miss him dearly.

Today, I still have loved ones fighting their battles, including both my aunt and uncle, who are currently undergoing treatment for lung cancer, and my godmother, who is thankfully now in remission from ovarian cancer.

By running, I hope to make a small contribution to a big cause. So, this is for:

• Grampy

• Aunty Sandra

• Aunty Marlene

• Uncle Mark

• Aunty Marcia

• Pappie

• Uncle Charles

• Aunty Sonia

• Marion Springer

• Karen Giles

And for so many others who have faced, or continue to face, this fight.

To those we’ve lost: we miss you every day.

To those still fighting: we love you, and we’re with you every step of the way. You’ve got this.

This race is for you. 🤍
