🏃♀️ Cheering on Polly – One Race to Go for Cancer Research UK 💙
We're incredibly proud of our colleague Polly, who’s about to take on the final leg of an emotional and inspiring running challenge: the Manchester Marathon on April 27th.
This marks the fourth and final race in her year-long mission to raise funds for Cancer Research UK in memory of her friend Marco, who was the first person close to her to lose his life to cancer.
Since starting this journey, Polly has experienced unimaginable personal loss - her friend Ali’s mum, Debbie, passed just ten days after diagnosis, and heartbreakingly, Polly’s own dad passed away suddenly in February. While the cause is still being confirmed, signs point to cancer.
💬 "Very importantly, I’ve chosen for all money raised to go to the area of research that helps to diagnose cancer earlier. If that can happen, then maybe Marco, Debbie, my Dad, and thousands of others would still be here." – Polly
Despite her grief, Polly recently smashed a personal best at the London Landmarks Half Marathon – her third race – and is determined to cross the final finish line in Manchester, running with heart, strength, and purpose. 🏅
Let’s rally behind Polly as she takes on her final race. She’s just over her £1,000 target – every pound brings her closer to helping fund life-saving early detection research.
