“I will be running in memory of my father who sadly passed away 3 years ago from a melanoma that metastasized in his brain. Upon diagnosis he was told he had only 6 months left to live. Losing a family member is the hardest thing one can experience and having a time limit on life makes you cherish every second.![]()

Having been through this and experiencing the devastation a loss brings to a family, I am honoured to be raising funds for Children with Cancer UK, where they actively raise and invest money for vital specialist research to save the lives of every child with cancer and to keep their family together. ![]()

My hope is that I can contribute to help loved ones get more time together and with research that can result in better outcomes for many.”![]()
