Running Up That Hill

If I only could, I'd make a deal with God; but I can't. The best I can do is run up the hills of Brussels (hmm).

Some kids are running a much harder race. In Europe, 35,000 children and young people between the ages of 0 and 23 are diagnosed with cancer every year. They didn't sign up for it. There's no playlist, no cheering crowd, no medal at the end, just chemo, hospitals, and a courage most adults will never have to summon. So I'll do the easy part. I'll run. I'll sweat. I'll blast Kate Bush on repeat. I'll probably regret every life choice that led me here somewhere around kilometre 8.

All you have to do is throw money at my pain. Every euro goes to the Fight Kids Cancer initiative, to boost research in paediatric oncology and finance the most promising projects in Europe.

Sponsor my suffering, it's for the best cause there is.
