| Publisher Description: On the 21st January 2012, after a long and very brave battle, my brother lost his fight against cancer and passed away peacefully during the evening with his family around him. Having been diagnosed with a rare spinal cancer and given less than a year to live he set about raising money for Cancer Research UK. Despite the very aggressive nature of the disease he displayed an amazing spirit throughout his illness which he fought with absolute dignity. The day he died I decided to carry on his fund-raising activities and determined to run the London Marathon in his memory. This book tells the story of quite possibly the biggest challenge of my life whilst highlighting the incredible determination that he displayed throughout his illness. |
