Go TeamHolyoake!

I’m a very proud, if amused father at the moment.

Here’s why – a message from my daughters.

 

So anyone who knows us will know we’re not exactly seasoned runners. Jess actively hates it; her favourite activity is sitting down and she prefers to take the train. Emily hasn’t run anywhere for many many months and once pretended to have a sprained ankle to avoid a 800 metre run that was sprung upon her at school.

Perfect candidates for a 10k.

We’re doing this for a lot of people, because like most families we’ve lost people we love to various forms of cancer. But we’re mostly doing this for our Dad, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in August 2014. He hasn’t started treatment yet, but when he does we suspect it won’t exactly be comfortable. So we’re going to forgo the sitting down for now and make ourselves distinctly uncomfortable to raise money to help him, and everyone else who’s struggling.

(Jess’s secondary aim is to look like Kim Kardashian.)

Please give us some money. In return, we’ll post ridiculous photos of us trying to run around Exeter.

So if you would like to give Cancer Research a few pennies or pounds through them, their donation page is here.

Thank you!
