Father runs marathon for little cancer warriors
Weekend Argus on Saturday
|May 03, 2025
AADAM Forgan has run for the children whose laughter and sobs echo through the curtains of the oncology ward-young lives battling cancer just metres away from where he receives chemotherapy.
On 26 April 2025, the 43-year-old father from Cape Town's Deep South completed the Outeniqua Half Marathon in the Wilderness, all while fighting stage 4 colorectal cancer, to raise money and awareness for the Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa (CHOC).
Diagnosed in 2023, just months after his sister was found to have stage 3 colorectal cancer, Forgan said his life changed almost overnight.
"The doctors told our family we should all get screened. I had no symptoms-nothing-but the colonoscopy showed stage 4 cancer and 18 metastases in my liver. I couldn't believe it."
