Kris Clarke, the son of one of our members is aiming to complete 20 challenges in 2016, not only to test himself but to raise awareness of breast cancer in both men and women whilst hopefully raising some funds for HER Breast Friends. Starting on January 24th 2016, he will start his 20 race quest with a 10 mile fun in Ferriby, East Yorkshire, with the last of the 20 events taking place by 24th December 2016.
Kris says “I decided at the end of 2015 to run 20 races including at least 2 marathons, in the year of 2016 for this amazing Charity. The Charity has not only had a massive influence on my Mum, who suffered from breast cancer, but also the outlook of our family during that time. They have helped many women including my Mum, who has gone from a quiet and shy person to someone who now meets every challenge head on”.
Kris is planning to run in PINK butterfly wings to signify the Charity’s emblem.
HER Breast Friends will endeavour to bring you news of Kris’s challenge along the way; Please cheer him on and support him in any way you can.
Good luck Kris, you are amazing and we look forward to seeing photographs and hearing about your journey.
