Half Marathon #2

Hi Friends and Family,

I thank you so much for taking time to read this blog. Some of you had the pleasure of meeting my beautiful mum Cecilia, She passed away in 2010 from Ovarian Cancer. I am running in honour of her and for the many people who are currently fighting cancer. I truley believe that with research there can be better ways to deal with cancer or better yet a world with no cancer.

I am at it again. I am training for an event with Can Too, a health promotion organisation that engages and inspires individuals and the community to achieve personal health, wellbeing and altruistic goals.

In return, for the amazing training programme. I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care and control of cancer. In 2015, our Can Too community has supported 14 early career researchers through Cure Cancer Australia. I have already raised $1250 but would like to do it again and achieve $2500

For every run I am not motivated to do, for every early morning run and sore muscles. I will think about about my mums strength through her whole life........ Her strength is my strength.

Thank you for supporting me!

With Love

Louise
