In just under 3 weeks I will be running 13.1 miles in the Birmingham Half Marathon. This is something that a group of us at Cruise.co.uk are doing to raise money for Sarcoma UK. A sarcoma is form of cancer that that attacks bone and soft tissue, it predominantly attacks young people and being a rare disease it is not as well supported as other cancer charities.
We started this training earlier in the year after a colleague Drew was diagnosed with the disease and whilst undergoing treatment Drew set up his own charity ULEGEND raising money directly for Sarcoma UK.
Drew sadly passed away on Monday and we are all devastated.
At 30 years old Drew was a fantastic and brave man. He was always the life and soul in the office and kept us all entertained, with his funny sayings and half-hearted attempts at dieting. Since being diagnosed in October 2011 and setting up his charity Drew managed to persaude people to do all sorts of challenges and raised over £6000 for Sarcoma and I hope that we can now double that for him.
13 miles will be hard but this is worth it, my training is going well and I am confident that I will get around, although I may be limping by the end of it.
I am asking everyone if they could spare a small amount of cash to help raise money for Drew's charity - donations can be made via www.justgiving.com/ULEGEND and more information on the charity is found via www.ulegend.co.uk
If you do donate just put my name in the box and please e-mail me too and then I can thank you personally
