    Hi guys, the last time I was online was sadly to inform people that my dad had passed away at just 52 in February of this year.
    And that was in February. Since then ive passed my first year of university and signed up for my second marathon in September. I really want to raise as much money as possible to combat this dreadful disease (not that I need to tell people this) and for those who have lost their battle with this monster. So I was wondering whether people could sponsor me! I would be ever so grateful!
    Last time my dad was stood at the finish waiting for me, but this time he'll be with me every step of the way!
    Thankyou guys, hope people are doing well and enjoying life!

    Thank-you! It's a pleasure.

    After seeing what Myeloma can do, day-in day-out for 3 years I just want to help as much as possible towards getting a cure to hopefully stop some of the suffering and worrying families have to endure!

    I'm still running hard people! Thank-you so much for your support and kindness. It's amazing how generous people who you have never met can actually be, so thank-you!

    I'm okay, and mum is just getting by each day. We're sticking togather and fighting what seems to be a losing battle, but together we will be okay.

    Thanks again, and if there's any way you could share my page with other people I would appreciate it so much!

    Joe x
