My running journey

You've hopefully noticed on the right hand side of my blog I update the total miles I've run in training.  After today's 15 mile run I've reached 293 miles.  To give some perspective, that's approximately the route from my brother's house in Southampton, on to my home in London, my parents in Northamptonshire and then visiting my other brother in Manchester.

All I need to do now is head up to the Beatson Laboratories in Glasgow.  I'm ending my route there because it's where I did my PhD and the labs are funded by Cancer Research UK, who I'm raising money for.

This route is important to me because it reaches the people I care about most.  It also reminds me that I'm running to raise money for CR UK. As I've said, I want to give something back to CR UK not only because of my professional association with the charity but because cancer has touched several people in my life.  CR UK's work is invaluable in supporting patients with cancer and supporting research.
