The ambassadors said this was an opportunity to honour those fighting cancer, as well as friends and family who have lost this brave fight.
‘I have lost too many friends to cancer, and have a friend, Cynthia, who is still fighting the battle,’ said Kate. ‘I am doing this for them.’
She said the more funds made available will allow for more testing, so that ‘the battle is not lost before it’s begun’. ‘If I can run to raise funds, then I will do it. If we all chip in a little, it can go a long way,’ she said.
