Rugby clubs have many great characters and only yesterday I attended a funeral of a former player, manager, junior coach and referee. He was a year younger than me and he left a grieving wife and two fine young rugby playing sons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know I\u2019m stating the obvious, but cancer is such a truly awful disease – and during the service at the Crematorium – I remembered my own feelings when I lost my Dad to Cancer. He\u2019d had a good life, but I couldn\u2019t help feeling cheated that he\u2019d never see my kids grow up. He\u2019d miss the nativity plays, the Christmas mornings, the birthday parties and the boys rugby matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November 2016, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in both her breasts. It was devastating news for both me and the family. Following her operation a few weeks later, she underwent extensive radio therapy and happily the treatment was a success. The NHS were fantastic, but five, ten, fifteen years ago, the same treatments were not available, however constant improvements in diagnosis, prevention and treatments are helping fight cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent this morning at the Physio’s as I\u2019ve a 2 to 4cm tear on my Soleus muscle, done whilst training on holiday. It makes running really painful and as the Physio told me this morning under normal circumstances he recommends I shouldn\u2019t run, but we both knew that was never an option. So, this Sunday, I\u2019ll strap up the calf and take my place in the Great North Half Marathon – running for Worldwide Cancer Research. There will be no PB I\u2019m afraid, completing the course and raising a little cash to fight the big C is purely my focus. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
