Theo's story

I am running the 10K race on May 18th in support of the OPA Cancer Charity because of the profound impact this organization has had on my family. In 2013, my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 oesophageal cancer. While we were fortunate that he survived, the journey was incredibly difficult, both emotionally and physically. The OPA Cancer Charity provided invaluable support during that time, offering guidance, resources, and a sense of community that helped us navigate through the toughest moments. Running this race is my way of giving back to the charity that was there for us when we needed it most, and raising awareness to help others facing similar battles.
