Gary's marathon effort
crosses the finish line at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre
A runner plans to complete 31
marathons, in 31 days, at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, on Sunday, 29 October
2017. Gary Morton, from Rossendale in Lancashire, started the marathon challenge
on 29 September 2017,to raise money for The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. His
mother Gillian Walker is being treated at Clatterbridge after being diagnosed
with skin cancer, 4 years ago, that spread to her liver and lung. His final run
will be from Wigan where Gillian, 62, lives, to the Centre in Wirral. Friends
and family, including Gillian, will be there to meet him. Gary, 43, said:-
"It has been a really tough few weeks but the support of family, friends and
people I have never met before has kept me going. It will be very special to
finish at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre and we hope to raise as much money as
we can to help people with cancer."
