Running For Macmillan Cancer Support

I’ve been busy with my running training and I’m delighted to confirm that I’m going to be raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support when I take part in my next event in April.

For those of you who have been following me for a long time, you may just about remember that I’ve run to help Macmillan before. Way back in about 2013, while my Dad was very poorly with cancer but still with us, I headed back to my home town of Cardiff to take part in the half marathon there. The whole event was outstanding, especially the start where I got to hang around inside the castle for a while before heading to the start line and heading off. A crazy, enjoyable, busy event that helped me to raise a few hundred pounds for such a great cause.

And so Macmillan are a cause close to my heart. They were there when my Dad had cancer to provide advice, information and support. More recently, they have provided help while my father in law has been going through his battle with cancer and his treatment.

Last time it was a half marathon and this time I’m making it more of a challenge for myself. I’ll be heading to Huntingdon in April to do as many laps as I can of a looped course within the six hour time limit. Fingers crossed, I’ll get beyond a marathon and somewhere around the 50k mark. Based on my return to long distance running last year, I’m expecting it to be pretty tough. Yet every penny for Macmillan matters so if you can spare some change then I’d be massively grateful, it’ll help me to persist on the day and it will help Macmillan to help more people who are going through the tough challenge of facing cancer.

Supporting Macmillan Cancer Support

It was way back in 2013 that I ran the Cardiff Half to raise some money for Macmillan (according to the old Just Giving page we raked in £850 which is pretty nice). The local papers also helped by giving me a little bit of coverage, including this photo of me with the girls when we all looked a lot younger! I’m thinking we need to recreate this photo again for my current fundraising…

There’s a bit more about the fundraising back then in this old article: Running for MacMillan Cancer Support and I covered how I got on during the run in this post: Thank You! Cardiff Half Marathon Result

Last year I covered my marathon and ultramarathon races and, for those who are interested, there’s a bit about my running and training in this more recent article Back in Ultramarathon Training – Hypnotherapy Ely and Newmarket

And here I am at the Ely marathon during and unexpected heat wave last year:

Can You Help Me Please?

And so, Macmillan are a cause close to my heart due to the help they gave with my Dad back then and with my Father-in-law more recently.

If you can spare a couple of pounds so they can even more people on their cancer journey then I’d be massively grateful. Just pop over to my Just Giving page here:  https://www.justgiving.com/page/dan-regan-huntingdon-challenge

Many thanks and I’ll be sure  to keep you posted on progress!

To your health and happiness,
