Race for charity
Emily Taylor is running the York 10k for Macmillan after her mother-in-law was diagnosed with secondary liver cancer and is urging people to sponsor her to raise cash for the charity.
ACKWORTH mum Emily Taylor is lacing up her running shoes for the first time to raise cash for Macmillan Cancer Support.
The 25-year-old will run the Jane Tomlinson Asda Foundation Run For All 10k on Sunday August 5.
Miss Taylor, of Woodleigh Crescent, has already raised £340 for the charity which supported her mother-in-law Marilyn Marshall in her battle with secondary liver cancer.
She added: “It’s my first run and I just wanted to make some money for Macmillan because they’ve been really supportive with Marilyn.
“Everyone thinks cancer won’t happen to them, but it affects people every day. If I can raise just a little bit of money by running 10k, it’s worthwhile.”
Miss Taylor was pregnant with her daughter, Freya, when her mother-in-law was given just weeks to live, but due to the charity’s support, she is still fighting 16 months on.
She added: “Marilyn made a miracle recovery and none of this would have been possible without the support of the hospice, doctors, carers, Macmillan nurses and of course our little Freya.”
