At the start of this year a dear friend's mum died after a long battle with cancer. She, my friend and their family and loved ones all went through so much throughout her diagnosis, treatment and passing. Despite all that people suffering cancers of the throat and their loved ones go through, it remains a very underfunded and ignored area in research and support. The Throat Cancer Foundation is a new charity set up to change that so I will be running 10k (crawling on hands and knees if I have to!) to raise money for it in memory of my friend's mum and for all still battling. 

Your support is very much appreciated... and, yes, I promise to update with a photo of me utterly wrecked at the end of it!
