I think that running was my saving grace in lockdown, like exercise was for many people.
At the very start of my running journey back in 2009, I couldn't run the length of my street but decided I would follow a 16-week program for my first 5km race, and have since fallen in love with it.
There's such a buzz at a marathon. You're surrounded by a bunch of people all supporting each other - it's incredible. The whole ethos of running is to keep going and put one step in front of the other, just like the research process.
Cancer has affected my family and friends - there have been some very sad stories but also some wonderful stories of people beating the disease. So raising money for cancer research has always been important to me and I'm so glad I've taken the time to discover Worldwide Cancer Research’s mission to end cancer by starting cures.
I’m looking forward to the big day, so much so that I’ve deliberately chosen bright pink running shoes to go alongside my yellow and pink WCR running top so everyone can spot me!
We are so grateful to all of our incredible Curestarters, like Jude, who fundraise tirelessly to support ground-breaking research. By starting new cures we will reach a day when no life is cut short by cancer. Will you join our united effort today?
