My target 100 mi

I’m running 100 Miles in October for Young Lives vs Cancer.

I’ll be running 100 Miles in October, from the 1st to the 31st, to help raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer.

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. With practical and emotional support. With someone always there. A social worker that gets it.
With places to stay near hospitals. With campaigning to make health, welfare and social care work better. To champion, to problem solve and bring about change. 


Every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today.

Just a £26 donation could fund an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker, ensuring children, young people and families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey.

Thank you for your support.

Injury

Unfortunately I've sustained an injury 😞 
The challenge is still on but I'll be replacing the running for walks for a few days.
I will endeavour to recoup the runs ASAP.

Great cause, and one which affects a lot of people in one way or another. Sadly, I lost my cousin to cancer in May, aged 58. Well done Linda!
