I've done Le Cure twice now (2018 and 2019) inspired by women (including my Mum and 2 sisters) known who've been touched by cancer but this one is for my Dad.
No, he didn't get breast cancer which was the cancer which was the catalyst for Le Cure but he did get cancer caused by exposure to asbestos when in the Merchant Navy and we lost him early this year, just over a year following his diagnosis.
The research Le Cure is funding goes wider than breast cancer and maybe one day all cancers will be curable.
