Story

Jo will be doing the London Marathon

JAKE HAS RUN HIS 1.5 MILES and did really well. He was giving high 5's to his fans along the way!

Our reasons for running and asking for your support

1. I am running for my Mum who lost her 5 year battle against cancer in 2006. When she was told she was terminally ill... she joined the gym and had amazing determination to fight all the way! This challenge for me is nothing in comparison to the challenges she faced and fought, she will always be my inspiration and I want to make her proud!

2. I started working for Anthony Nolan after being inspired by Adrian Sudbury who lost his battle in 2008. I work with volunteers who give their time to support the charity, many have lost loved ones to Leukaemia, some have had their own personal battle, others have donated blood/stem cells and some just want to make a difference!! I am inspired by all and want to raise funds for an amazing charity that gives the chance of life to those with blood cancer.

3. I am running because I had Leukaemia in 2007 and I am lucky enough to have survived and made a good recovery.

4. I am running because I made a drunken pact with my best freind Emma that I would run a marathon before the age of 40!! I never break a drunken pact!

Thank you for donating!!
