tomorrow i am running in the adidas women's challenge. this year i am running in support of bowel cancer uk, a charity dedicated to raising awareness of bowel cancer (colon cancer), improving the quality of life of those affected by the disease, and reducing deaths from this very common form of cancer.
those who know me know that we have had a tough year health-wise in our family. when i signed up for this run, earlier in the year, my father-in-law had just been diagnosed with bowel cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. in july, he had surgery, and only last month he learned the fantastic news that he is now cancer free. i am running in honor of malcolm and in celebration of his recovery.
i know budgets are tight this year and many of you have been asked to donate to other runs, bike rides and other events for other equally worthy causes. but if you have the means or inclination, please visit my justgiving page and donate online.
fingers crossed it doesn't rain!
