Why is Samantha running the half?

My name is Samantha Colwell-Castles and I am running a half marathon on the 1st of June 2013 to raise money for mesothelioma research.

I will run my challenge and all funds raised will to go to two leaders in treatment and research. This is my way of saying thank you to them for giving me a role in the fight and helping me to feel a little less helpless. A thank you card just didn’t seem enough.
