Thankyou for your kind words

I give all of you my regards and hope you're all doing okay!

It's not just my dad I'm running for, I'm running for all those people who would love to be able to do what I do, but can't, and running for those who suffer everyday.

I'm very lucky to be able to do what I do.
I wish you all my very best 🙂

Thanks

Joe

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!

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!

Hi Nicola

Sorry to hear about your dad, and he WILL be with you in every step you take in life.

I'm 19 years old and my dad died nearly a month ago aged 53, due to MM taking its course.
I still can't believe he's gone. Even whilst carrying his coffin with my 3 brothers it just didn't seem real.
Anyway, just keep strong for your family and be there for one-another. I try and tell my mom, brothers and sister that I love them at least once a day.

Keep strong and I hope that at some point in the future we can begin to cope with the intense grief we feel at this moment.

Love to you and your family x

It is my dad in the photo! I ran a marathon for Myeloma in September.
My mum doesn't have a computer, but I ring her and am home almost every weekend.
Thank-you for your kind words. It's nice to know people care, and there should be more people in the world like most of the people on this site.

I'll keep everyone updated with progress!

We'll be fine I'm sure of it. keeping busy might help, but I'm dreading not being near my family for a few weeks. It's been the only reason I've coped reasonably okay, because I have my mum to look after. And knowing shes being looked after makes me feel better.
I'm sure my sister will be here a lot, but the distance will hurt a tiny bit.

Anyways, hope Monday isn't too much of a struggle for you Gem. We'll battle on!

Thankyou everybody, it's been nearly three weeks now since my dad died.
Although the initial anger has faded away, the distraught is still present.
I'm not looking forward to going back to University on Monday, but it has to be done. My mum is not herself (which is not out of the ordinary), but at least I know my 2 brothers and sister can be there for her in my absence to make sure shes not on her own.

Thanks again, I have read all of your comments and am touched by the kind/wise words that you have given me.

I'm sure things will ease and the way in which we deal with the pain will get better, but right now it seems so, so far away.

I'll keep everyone updated

Hi Gina, he said it's most probably just a build up of fluid (hydrocele) but just to be sure I'll be having an x-ray next week because you can't be too sure, eh?
I've told my parents and they said they're very proud of me for going, but they wish I'd have told them sooner

[ArthurParticipant]

Thankyou for people replying! It's very much appreciated! Going to doctors in an hour so I'll let you know how it goes.

[ArthurParticipant]

Sorry for being a bit off topic guys, I just really need help!
