I'm raising £1,500 to support Tash's Bashes

My Story

More than one in three of us will develop cancer at some point in our lives and each year dedicated scientists at Cancer Research UK get closer to beating it. New technologies such as advances in genetics are bringing us ever closer to major breakthroughs. Why do we care about this? Unfortunately, our Spark44 colleague Tash lost her battle with cancer this year. Although I wasn't fortunate enough to know Tash personally, her indomitable drive, enthusiasm and kindness was famous throughout the agency. What is truly inspirational is that, despite having been diagnosed with cancer, Tash set herself a £50,000 target and held multiple fundraising events to support Cancer Research's fight against Secondary Breast Cancer through her 'Tash's Bashes' charity How will the money be spent? Tash's Bashes aim to help Cancer Research by funding research, trials or perhaps paying a scientists salary Why donate? Tash's Bashes theory is that you won't mind giving money if you receive something in exchange. My 'something in exchange' is a commitment to completing x3 long distance endurance events in 2016 including: - x1 Half Ironman Triathlon (1.9 km swim, a 90 km bike ride, and a 21.1 km run) - x1 Full Ironman Triathlon (3.86 km swim, a 180 km bike ride, and a full marathon) - x1 Haute Route (800K of cycling including 20,000M+ of ascent)

CAUSE

Basic research

Nine out of ten cancer deaths are caused by cancer cells spreading around the body in a process called metastasis. Dr Erik Sahai is leading pioneering research to understand metastasis and stop rogue cancer cells breaking free. This could provide new ways of preventing cancer spread, saving thousands of lives.
