Why run for Cancer Research?
Rika took part in the 2025 London Landmarks Half Marathon as part of Team Cancer Research UK, running in memory of her Mum.
I relied on Cancer Research UK to learn more about breast cancer when my mum was diagnosed. Educating myself was a productive way to try and process everything. I eventually lost my mum to breast cancer in March 2020. I signed up to run the London Landmarks Half Marathon. It was a no brainer when it came to choosing a charity to raise money for. My mum was a gym bunny, so I thought she’d find it funny that I was going to be running in her memory. London Landmarks Half Marathon is an incredible event - I enjoyed every single mile. My favourite moment was the CRUK cheer point, where my beautiful daughter and incredible husband were cheering me on!
