Emma FitzGerald and the Grazia/Nike 10K
A couple of the more fabulous members of the JG team were very happy to spot a mention of JustGiver Emma FitzGerald in this week’s Grazia. Despite the fact that she hates running, Emma ran the Grazia/Nike Women’s 10K in London’s Victoria Park on the 24th October for The Quiet Cancer Appeal after a close friend of hers was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer earlier this year.
Neuroendocrine cancer has come to be known as “The Quiet Cancer”, not only because it’s rare, but also because of its apparent lack of early symptoms. Unfortunately, by the time a tumour has been diagnosed, it has already spread and is incurable.
Inspired by the way her friend has handled this terrible news, Emma decided to shrug off a lifetime’s aversion to physical activity and has already passed her fundraising target of £6,000. The money she’s raised will go to a specialist unit at the Royal Free Hospital, which researches new treatments, not only for neuroendocrine cancer, but also for more common types like breast cancer.
From all at JG Towers, congratulations Emma!
