We're Doing It Again

This year, we, as a family, came up close and got personal with the big C.

Up until then, it was relatively distant. Working in the area of oncology clinical trials brought me quite close to the reality of cancer but it was still just a disease - a really bad disease that we were working very hard to fight.

And then, just like that, it became our personal fight. Since then, we've cried hard, fought with the powers that be, blamed it on whatever we could in desperation, felt utterly helpless, and have often selfishly asked "why us?"

Where we stand today, we know there really is no answer to that question. All there is, is a renewed appreciation of life and people, and a desire to seize the moment and live it to the full.

This is why, we're doing it again. Dot and I running 10km to raise money to fund research into cures/support for cancer. The money you donate on our page will go directly to Cancer Research UK. If you prefer to donate locally, to your local cancer charity, please do. We will be grateful for any form of support.

We'll see you on the other side of the finish line!

She Knows You're Here
