My friends (Aurelia, Sophie, Jana and Becca) and I are taking part in the Belfast Marathon Relay for Cancer Focus NI in memory of my dad, who I sadly lost to cancer. This run means so much to me, as losing my dad has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through. Doing this relay alongside my friends gives me strength and helps me turn something incredibly painful into something meaningful.

We’re running to honour my dad and to support the amazing work Cancer Focus NI does for families affected by cancer. Any donation, big or small, would mean the world to me. Thank you so much for your support and for helping me remember my dad in this way.
