'This has knocked me back, but I am still running.'
A Belfast man has been left "overwhelmed" after a fundraising campaign raised over £23,000 in the space of five days to support his bid to beat pancreatic cancer.The 56-year-old - who has completed countless marathons and half-marathons, and over 250 parkruns - is one of the founding members of the Run Anon running club in Crumlin.Running has been Aidan's life, but now he faces one of his biggest challenges.
"The doctors explained it as the chemo has killed the tree of the cancer, and now the new medication will help deal with the roots. So I hope this laser will make it peel off the artery so they can operate on it." "This has knocked me back, but I am still running. I booked the Dublin Marathon before Covid struck and I managed to do it about three weeks ago.
"When I was in hospital, I would go in on a Thursday to get chemo and I would be in there from 8am to 2pm. They would give me six bags of chemo, and then they give me another fusion bottle connected onto me. "Running has been a massive source of strength to me. If I didn't have running I would probably have given up.
