A LAW student has lined up a marathon effort inspired by her friend s incredible cancer fight. Louisa Cuddy is fundraising for CLIC Sargent, the charity that supported her friend Rachel Bennion throughout her illness and treatment after she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma blood cancer at just 19-years-old. The Paddington student wanted to ensure that the charity could continue to do the same for other young individuals with the help of her fundraising. Louisa, 21, chose to take on the challenge of the London marathon because her and Rachel used to run together at Warrington Athletics club, so a running fundraiser felt appropriate.
