Hi
I'm going to be running the 21k Gun Run in Cape Town on the 11th October and wanted to run it for my Grandad.
He's suffering from Cancer and only has a couple of weeks to live. As I won't be able to get home for the funeral I wanted to let him know I was thinking of him and in the process raise some money for a great cause - Kids with Cancer
Any donations will be welcome.
It will give me the inspiration to finish when my legs want to give way!

CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA is the only organisation in South Africa that provides comprehensive countrywide support for children with cancer and other life-threatening blood disorders, and their families. CHOC has a head office in Johannesburg, six regional offices, two branches, and 12 accommodation facilities close to treatment centres.

Their comprehensive support improves the welfare and quality of care of children with cancer and offers families a wide range of psychosocial services and practical support such as counselling, free accommodation, free transport and transport fund to ensure that no child abandons treatment due to the family not affording transport costs, food parcels as they recognise the financial difficulties families often face and parent to parent support groups. CHOC also plays a leading advocacy role and promotes early detection to save lives nationally.
