On Sunday 22nd April 2012 I will be running the London Marathon to raise money for Cancer Research UK. The marathon is 26 gruelling miles (or 42 km) across London and I’ve been training hard since 25 September 2011!

Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research.

They support the work of more than 4,000 researchers, doctors and nurses throughout the UK, fighting cancer on all fronts. Every day, their researchers make cutting-edge discoveries in the labs, and their doctors and nurses pioneer new treatments with patients in hospitals.

They run high-profile health awareness campaigns and provide clear information to help people understand more about cancer and the steps everyone can take to reduce their risk of developing the disease. They also lobby the government to make sure cancer stays at the top of the political agenda.

In short, they’ve saved millions of lives with their groundbreaking work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. People’s chances of surviving cancer have doubled in the last 40 years, and CR-UK has been at the heart of that progress.

But more than one in three of us will still get cancer at some point. CR-UK’s vital work, funded entirely by the public, will help ensure that millions more people survive.  http://www.cancerresearchuk.org.

Many of you know that I work for Cancer Research UK and that this is a cause I care passionately about. Whether you a sponsoring me because you know me or because you want to support the work CR-UK does, please give as much as you can. Every penny I raise really makes a massive difference!

 

Please pass this page on to as many people as you can and thank you so much for sponsoring me. I won’t let you down.

 

Thank you again
