Together for Becca: 18 Runners Fundraise for Brain Cancer at the Yorkshire Marathon Relay

This October, three teams will be taking part in the Yorkshire Marathon Relay all to raise funds to support Becca in her fight against brain cancer.

There will be 18 runners in total taking on the challenge, helping to raise money for Becca, who was diagnosed with stage 4, terminal astrocytoma brain cancer.

Becca, a 26-year-old Mum and dedicated teacher, had her world turned upside down in a matter of weeks, after she went to hospital suffering from headaches.

She was given the devastating news the same night, a 4cm brain tumour, and within days underwent surgery at Leeds General Infirmary to remove the tumour. Over the next few weeks, Becca will begin intensive treatment, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Her friends and family are running to raise money to open up any additional treatment opportunities alongside chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Simply, to give Becca a much better chance at battling her cancer, as she refuses to leave any of her family behind.

“I’m far too happy for that and I’ve got far too much life to live – it's just not going to happen!!”

The money raised will also take any financial pressure off Becca and her family, allowing them to spend quality time together, and make special memories with her children.

“I can’t thank every single person enough for all the love and support you’ve thrown my way! For every share, comment, donation and fundraising. From people closest to me and to those that I don't even know.”

“There will never be a thank you big enough!”

The relay teams will take on the Yorkshire Marathon Relay on the 19th October to raise vital funds. In teams of 6, they will each compete in a set leg of the race to cover the marathon distance together – the ultimate test of teamwork and camaraderie – we wish them the best of luck and cannot wait to see them on the start line in a few weeks.
