Great North Run

Great North Run in memory of my mum!

My mum was my hero, she was a kind-hearted, happy and funny mum who always saw the best in people and tried her hardest to make the world a better place. I'm so grateful for everything she did for me and my family and she was the best mum I could have ever asked for!

Unfortunately, in 2012 my mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she was quickly started on radiotherapy and received surgery. All of this put a huge strain on our young family and we all found it difficult to cope. 

Luckily, she entered remission in 2013 thanks to the amazing work of the medical professionals who cared for her.

However, in 2019 the cancer came back and she had to undergo 6 rounds of chemotherapy, after which she was given the all-clear. Sadly, in October 2019 the cancer returned for a 3rd time.

My mum passed away in September 2021 after a long and hard battle with ovarian cancer.

My mum was the kindest, strongest and bravest person I have ever met, she inspires me every day and everything that I do in life I do in the hope of making her proud. She inspired me to study medicine so that I can hopefully help more people like her and inspired me to undertake The Great North Run so that I can raise as much money as possible for this amazing charity and help more mums, sisters and daughters affected by this awful disease.

Any donations at all will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you, Rowan :)
