In November 2019 my mum was diagnosed with Colon cancer. After going through Surgery to remove the cancer and being fitted with a stoma she then had her first round of chemotherapy, unfortunately this was palliative treatment. The treatment continued to give mum as much time as possible. So as the first wave of the pandemic waned and I could travel to visit mum (lived in Spain), I realized mum also had rapid onset dementia, In some ways this was a blessing but in other not so.

My mum passed away 6th December 2021 - she loved my running adventures so seem right that I run the London Marathon 2022 for my mum
