Running for the Gillan family

To support a young family living with Cancer

Otago

Our wonderful friend Sonia has been recently diagnosed with advanced breast cancer at 36 years old.

Sonia, her husband Matt and two boys Connor (5) and Seb (3) are going to find the next few months very challenging while Sonia has treatment.

I am running a half marathon (21km) in Wanaka (Southern Lakes Challenge) in March so thought it would be a good idea to raise some money for the Gillan family to help them out while Sonia is having treatment.

My friend Dora Yip and myself will be organising a number of fundraising activities over the coming months so we hope you will participate when you are able. If you are friends or family of the Gillans you will know what a very special family they are!

Please show your support by sponsoring me and pushing me to get off my backside and do some more training!
