Story

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my sponsorship page.

 

As you may or may not be aware, I am running the New York ING marathon this year. I’m running in aid of Cancer Research UK, the world’s leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research. I would be incredibly surprised if anyone reading this has not had a friend or family member that hasn’t been affected by this terrible disease. Cancer Research is a charity responsible for groundbreaking work in preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer - helping to save millions of lives each year.

The marathon itself takes place on the 6th of November, a grueling 42.195 km or 26.219 miles to be precise! Putting that into perspective that’s the equivalent of running round an athletics track ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE times or from Central London to St.Albans...its a long way basically! And yes, training has begun...In fact it began a while ago, as soon as we started planning this event before the Summer. Since then it has been good and I fully intend to keep you up to date as to my progress right up until I board the plane to the great city of NY! Many of you know me to be fairly competitive, so when I may not win the race, I will certainly try my very hardest to make myself, Boris and everyone else proud!

You can be assured that donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details will be 100% safe and they’ll never sell them on or send any unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to Cancer Research UK and make sure any Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

Thanks to your support and to Cancer Research UK’s great work, more people than ever are beating cancer...and for this I am incredibly grateful!

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks Again,

Tristan.
