This Thursday, it will be a year since my Dad was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and he passed away only 6 weeks later. I am running the Windsor Half Marathon on 29th September 2013 to raise funds to support The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, in his memory.

His illness was too far along for anything to be done; only an earlier diagnosis would have given him any chance. The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the only organisation that researches this disease and promotes knowledge of its symptoms to try to diagnose it earlier. The prognosis for lung cancer is poor, due to the normally late diagnosis and poorly researched treatment options.

Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the World, and accounts for one in five deaths in the UK. Despite this, it only receives 5% of the UK cancer research funding. The work the charity does is crucial.

You can sponsor me by:

Thank you

I lost my father to this horrible disease so I know how you feel, I hope the donations pour in but knowing Wittoners I am sure they will.

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me so far - I really appreciate it. I’m not too far away from my target and I’d love to reach it!

My Dad would have thought me an idiot for running a half marathon but would be secretly pretty proud :slight_smile:
