“This year I’m running City2Surf in memory of my beautiful colleague, Jayde, who passed away from bowel cancer at just 37 years old.

Her kindness, strength and courage were so inspiring, and her story is a heartbreaking reminder that bowel cancer doesn’t only affect older people.

I’m fundraising to honour Jayde, support families facing this disease, and help fund awareness, research and support services so more lives can be saved.” ~ Emily.
