My target 24 mi
24 miles in 24 hours
Back in November 2020 I took part in Pancreatic Cancer UK's Challenge 24 and ran 24 miles (ended up rounding up to 26.2 cause... too close not to!) to raise crucial funds and awareness for the charity in memory of my beaut of a dad, Frank.
In October 2021 I ran the London Marathon for PCUK & with your help so far have collectively raised over £6,000 for the charity (for which I will be forever thankful!)
This November I didn't want Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month to pass again without doing something to help, so on 4th November I've decided to try and run 24 miles in 24 hours ie: Starting each hour, on the hour for 24 hours I'll run one mile.
Those who know me know I LOVE my sleep so this is going to be incredibly hard for me, but that's entirely the point, nothing comes close to being as difficult as those months watching my dad fade away in front of me.
It took him months to finally be given the formal diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer, & those waiting times, back & forths & delays are unfortunately very common, meaning that more than half the people diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer (including my dad) will die within 3 months.
As time passes it can seem like a bit of a fog hits & memories become less clear, those burst of tears become less frequent, & as every week, month & year passes I get more and more scared of forgetting.
This is why raising money & running in memory of my Dad means just SO much to me - it's helped me hugely in my struggle with grief, having something to focus on, an opportunity to talk about & remember my Dad & the knowledge that what i’m doing might help save someone else having to go through what we did.
Please give all you can, every donation, no matter how small genuinely means the world & the more we can raise the bigger difference PCUK can make.
Thank you so much 💖
