In just over 3 weeks i will be running my first ever half marathon, the Bupa Great North Run. 13.1 miles of pure hell, but i can’t wait.
When i got my place for the Run, i knew i would like to raise some money for a good cause, but i wasn’t 100% sure for which charity.
Cancer is a subject which is unfortunately close to me, as my grandmother died of this disgusting disease, so i knew the charity would be related to cancer research. Sir Bobby Robson is also one of my biggest heroes, and back in 2008 the “Sir Bobby Robson Foundation” was created. As it says on the foundations website,
The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation focuses on the early detection and treatment of cancer and the clinical trials of new drugs that will eventually beat it.
There really was no other option in my mind. I had to run for the “Sir Bobby Robson Foundation”
September 20th will be here soon, and i hope i can raise £200-300. It will be an honour to run with their logo on my T-Shirt.
