Tabetha's Loch Ness Marathon

By Tabetha Dale

Donate to Tabetha and help them hit their goal of £250!

I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

My Marathon journey - I am running my first ever marathon on 29th September.  Those that have known me over the years will be gobsmacked at this.  I'm not a runner!  I'm not sporty! I was the last picked at school.  But I was inspired when my wife ran the London Marathon.   I arrived at my first Parkrun with a cup of coffee to walk round with.  Tracey recalls I moaned all the way.  January 2023.  Just over 18 months, two 10kms and two half marathons later I'm ready to run a marathon.  I've been training for months and my last long run 21 miles took 6 hours.  This is a real challenge for me and I really hope I can do this, which brings me on to why I'm running for pancreatic cancer.
I wasn't originally going to get sponsored for this marathon as family and friends were incredibly generous when Tracey ran London.  However, unfortunately Pancreatic Cancer has touched our family.  My younger sister has been diagnosed with this disease and is currently in treatment.  The disease is often diagnosed late and is difficult to treat.  I want to do what I can to raise funds to go towards research for early diagnosis and treatment of this cancer.  I'm hoping that people will be able to support me to help fight and improve diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
Thank you very much. Tabetha x

Wishing you a great run, Tabetha. This is another worthy cause. My father-in-law developed pancreatic cancer so it is good to know that people like you are raising money to fund research that may help current and future patients.
