Running for Life

I must admit that I don’t understand running. I can cycle across the country but ask me to run 100 metres and I’m a mess. One of these days I really should put in some time and effort and learn how to run effectively. In the back of my mind I have a goal, well not even a goal but rather a thought, to take part in something like the City to Surf run. And when I say in the back of my mind I mean way back there some place that’s really hard to access, but I have thought about it.

Someone who has gone well beyond thinking about running is Darren Entwistle. Darren is Running for Life.

Later this year he’s running a half-marathon in the Perth City to Surf and is dedicating the run to his mother-in-law, Maureen, who is battling Ovarian Cancer. In fact, he’s going beyond simply dedicating his run, he’s also raising money for Ovarian Cancer Australia.

Can you do me a really big favour? Can you please head to the Running for Life website and read Darren’s story? Maybe even consider sponsoring his run?

Most of us have been touched by cancer of some kind, whether personally or through a loved one, and so we all have our personal reasons to support people who are battling cancer. Please take a few moments to visit Running for Life.
