We pioneer life-saving cancer research to help us beat cancer

Story

So it turns out the London Marathon was just a warm up for the big one. For those who struggle with figures the marathon is 42km and from memory it hurts! So why not try running 100k!! 

Yes its going to be a big challenge but to pass the time I'm being joined by my good friends Joe and Ben Shepherd.

The motivation is the opportunity to raise money for a fantastic charity Cancer Research UK. Unfortunately we've all been affected by this terrible disease one way or another and I am no stranger. My mum was diagnosed with throat cancer a few years ago and after a year of intensive treatment is one of the lucky ones with the disease in remission. This is largely thanks to the huge amount of research and development in cancer diagnosis and treatment and Cancer Research UK are at the forefront of this.

I know Ive already asked a lot of many of you over the past few years but if you can spare the cost of maybe a pint or two or a couple of glasses of wine this would be amazing. 

Thanks for supporting me again.
