Suneel – The Rutland Marathon

September 30, 2015 by pelicanadmin

Suneel took part in The Rutland Marathon on 27th September 2015. Looking back over the 13 years that his family have enjoyed since his father was first diagnosed with cancer of the colon and treated, was the trigger for Suneel to take on this challenge.

Suneel has chosen to fundraise for Pelican because of his father’s experience with colon cancer. The summary is from his father, in his own words.

“In the year 2000 (aged 52) I was diagnosed with cancer of the colon, fortunately very early stages, when I went for a check-up regarding my ‘piles’. I underwent major abdominal surgery and everything turned out okay. I spent the next 13 years working overseas and returned to the UK as a retired person in 2013.
To my surprise, I was reconnected to the same Consultant Surgeon, Mr. Brendan J MORAN, at Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital for my ongoing regular check-ups, much needed for a patient like me. I am extremely pleased to say that the service I have had from the Colorectal Unit for the past 2 years has been excellent. So, when Suneel decided to run The Rutland Marathon, he had no hesitation to donate the entire collection to the Pelican Cancer Foundation. I thank you son and hand over back to you.“
The last 15 years have flown by and as you now know, I have finally decided to give something back and say thank you. I was just 14 (my sister 10 and my brother 6) back in the year 2000 and now cannot imagine all those years without the most important man in my life. Whether you know him as Ashok or Ash, I hope you are able to give generously to support the fantastic work done by the team at Pelican. 
I have no target time or total, I will do my very best and I hope that you can do the same.
Thank you for reading and for your contribution.
Suneel

Following the marathon, Suneel reported back that although the day was perfect for spectators, it was a little too warm for the runners and made the challenge seem all the greater.

Suneel raised a fantastic £1,196.73, plus gift aid – www.justgiving.com/suneelappan.

A massive thank you from everyone at Pelican.
