Why this is important to me!
I’m running the 2026 Falmouth Road Race in support of DetecTogether, a cause that is deeply personal to me. I sadly lost my maternal grandfather to Lung Cancer in 2016 and my paternal grandmother to Lymphoma in 1982. Those experiences showed me just how critical early detection can be. DetecTogether’s mission to educate people on recognizing symptoms and advocating for their health has the power to save lives. Running has become a huge source of purpose for me, and I’m incredibly grateful to now use it to support something I truly believe in. Every donation helps fund life-saving education and awareness. Thank you for being part of this with me.
Description
The worst cancer diagnosis is a late one. That's why support for DetecTogether is so crucial. They teach people how to detect cancer early when it’s most treatable and survivable.
40% of the population will face a cancer diagnosis. One of the most important factors in surviving cancer is the stage at which it is first detected. Early detection makes all the difference.
DetecTogether provides a simple, powerful strategy for detecting cancer early. They educate in schools, present to community groups, and reach out to those at high risk, such as firefighters, empowering people to achieve better healthcare overall.
Their life-saving presentations and information are delivered at no cost, thanks to the kindness and generosity of donors.
Consider supporting this cause. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against cancer.
