Hi all!
People who know me?! know that Iāve been struggling and fighting all kinds of obstacles for the past 18 years since being registered blindā¦..BUT Iāve never faced obstacles such as these.
I was recently challenged to do the Tough Mudder 5K by Sarahās nail tech/artist Ashley, who works atĀ Ooh La La Hair & Beauty Salon.Ā I chose the team name HARD AS NAILS and I’ll be competing and raising funds for one of my favourite charities –World Cancer Research Fund
World Cancer Research Fundā¦..
My lovely wife Sarah works forĀ World Cancer Research FundĀ and I was stopped in my tracks by one of the statistics she showed me –Ā That a third of all cancers can be prevented…Ā that’s over 80,000 casesĀ each year in the UK alone. This totally blew my mind!
āWhat??? There are Cancers that I can prevent? I thought Cancer was something that you just got!”
The light switched on for me and I thought āWhy didnāt I know this?Ā
I want to share this good news with everyone so we can all be aware and empowered to start fighting the cancers we can prevent.”
Since then Iāve been following World Cancer Research FundsĀ recommendations and have never felt more healthy and energised (even thoughIiām on beta-blockers). Most of all I know Iām not digging my own grave with my own knife and fork!
World Cancer Research FundĀ are the UKās leading cancer prevention charity funding global research into the links between diet, weight, physical activity and cancer. Their work empowers people to take action to lead healthier, happier, cancer-free lives.
Cancer is a terifying disease and most, if not all of us, either know or have known someone who has had or been affected by cancer.
Many believe that getting cancer is down to your genes, fate or just bad luck, but there are so many things you can do to reduce your cancer risk.
What you eat and drink, how much you weigh and how physically active you are can all make a big difference.
With our support World Cancer Research Fund will be able to learn more about how to prevent cancer – keeping loved ones together for longer.
