Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As most of you already know, I sadly lost my Dad on 12th January 2017 after a 7.5 year battle with prostate cancer.  Dad was one of the unlucky ones, his prostate cancer had spread to his lymph nodes and his bones and treatment could no longer prolong his life.

There is not a day goes by when I don't think about Dad.  We all miss him dearly, Mum especially. My friend gave me a photo with a poem that I hold close to my heartache - 

"If I could write a story it would be the greatest ever told

Of a kind and loving man who had a heart of gold

I could write a million pages, but still unable to say

Just how much I love and miss him every single day

I will remember all he taught me, I'm hurt but won't be sad

Because he'll send me down the answers and he'll always be MY DAD."

I cannot thank the Christie hospital enough for the care they gave Dad, from his Consultant, his team, nurses, all staff and volunteers across the hospital. They all helped in their own ways to make stressful times, especially in Dad's last months more bearable. 

You all probably realise that I am not built to run! My asthma has been misbehaving including a bad asthma attack last November.  Plus I have struggled with various injuries over the last 6 months.  However, after losing Dad I decided this was the challenge I needed to set myself and somehow, Dad will help me to get round. 

Any donations will be gratefully received to support the work of the Christie and in memory of Dad.
