When life swipes you sideways you just have to channel the positives wherever possible and this year life did exactly that. Dad, was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and back in 2017 it also happened to our Nan đAlthough it turned over lives on its head and the prognosis is positive for Dad we still have a somewhat unpredictable journey ahead of us and without Macmillan and the team around us we know the journey would be much tougher both physically and mentally. We hear far too frequently that people are diagnosed with cancer, and with statistics worsening, and with the conversations becoming unfortunately more common it doesn't make it any easier and it's easy to fall into the 'it won't happen to me' trap but when it does you need support. There's not a lot of things I'd claim to be good at but running is my happy place and I will hit the streets of London, up the anti and train hard over the coming months to raise awareness and funds alongside Dad receiving his treatment. You think running a marathon is hard, you try living with Cancer! And that's my motivation. No matter what he's going through he will be my biggest cheerleader and training buddy whenever he can
Anything you can give is hugely appreciated, even if you just swap a Starbucks for a donation one day. With a heart full of gratitude, I thank you in advance and I'll wear Macmillan vest with pride knowing you've got my back all the way to the finish line đ
The London Marathon has become an annual, inspiring and colourful fixture in the worldâs sporting calendar since the inaugural race on 29 March 1981: a celebration of fun, fundraising and fancy dress.
Over the years more than a million people have completed the 26.2-mile course â which runs from Blackheath to The Mall, with a spectacular finish in front of Buckingham Palace, showcasing the very best that the capital city has to offer.
Whatâs more, these participants have raised over a billion pounds for charity and there have been countless amazing tales of human achievement throughout the eventâs history â living up to its aim of helping participants âto have fun, and provide some happiness and sense of achievement in a troubled worldâ.
