After having a keen interest in running for the last few years I have decided to run a half marathon! On the 22nd March 2015, I will be running the Brentwood Half Marathon to raise awareness for Pancreatic Cancer.
Pancreatic Cancer is the most fatal form of cancer in the UK, with only 4% of patients surviving for 5 years or more. Less than 1% of overall research funding for cancer in the UK goes towards pancreatic cancer.
I want to raise awareness for this charity, as sadly only 10% of patients are diagnosed in time for surgery. Many of the symptoms go unrecognised until it is too late.
I will be training for 12 weeks beginning on the 29th December 2014. I'm aiming to maintain a training log, which you can follow if you wish. I'm hoping to run sub 2hr 15mins.
Together we will beat cancer! #PanCanUK
