My dad survived throat cancer 20 years ago and unfortunately is now fighting the battle again.

He was diagnosed with cancer in a gland, in his neck last year and has recently completed a course of radiotheraphy and continues to fight this disease.

I'm going to run 26 miles to help support ALL suffers of this disease....

26 miles of running is nothing compared to what the suffers of this disease go through!!"
