I’ve made the first baby step towards my goal of running a marathon to raise money for the charity Ovarian Cancer. It’s only day 1 of couch to 5k but we all have to start somewhere. So why do I want to do this?
Next year I will be the same age as when my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer, she passed away only 8 months later. This condition is often called the silent killer, symptoms often are the same as other female issues and get brushed aside and no screening is offered for it currently. The research done by the charity is very much needed.
So next year I aim to run a marathon and raise money for the charity. I have applied to do this at the London marathon, places are limited so who knows whether I will get a place but if not I will find another and raise money anyway.
So here goes day 1, no backing out now it’s on here 🤣 #
