Thanks for taking the time to visit my just giving page and supporting me. I decided I should join Rob and so here I am in training (it hurts already) with my own confirmed place in the 2011 London Marathon to run on behalf of The Bobby Moore Fund.

Those who know my family and I will understand why without needing any further explanation. Sadly nothing can bring dad back, but the work of this charity in particular has real potential to make a difference to others in the future and that for us makes it an incredibly worthwhile cause after everything we have been through this past year.

Currently the BMF is funding several new bowel cancer projects from studies into the genetics of bowel cancer, new surgical techniques, new treatments such as antibody therapy as well as ways to prevent and reduce the risk of developing bowel cancer. In addition, there are studies taking place looking at new ways to ensure early detection of the disease. This is key because, if diagnosed early, over 80% of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated. 

Donating through just giving is simple, fast and totally secure. your details are safe and once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure gift aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

So please dig deep and donate now
