Krish in the L6th says: "I didn't expect to be running or even partaking in this. I decided to take a massive jump out of my comfort zone for one of the best causes, to serve as a reminder that these brave people aren't alone. My ex form tutor Miss Coe who played a lasting role in my life had been diagnosed with breast cancer this year and despite the news I saw the way she took it head on and it moved me. I'm taking small steps towards a big goal and personally I think we should all take these small steps towards these big goals. It makes us that little bit closer to achieving something that you'll look back at with pride and maybe one day it will be an everlasting goal. Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow. But one day we'll achieve these goals. For the whole of October, I'll be completing a 205k run, 21 days of 5k and 10 back to back days of 10k. The money all goes towards research for breast cancer and Cancer research in support of Miss Coe. Together we will beat cancer".
