Every day 10 families are told that their child has cancer. Diagnosis often comes as a shock. Treatment usually starts straightaway and can last up to three years.

As the children's cancer charity, CLIC Sargent is there... with clinical, practical and emotional support, every step of the way.

During the final minutes of 2008 I decided that 2009 would be the year to conquer the London Marathon on behalf of Clic Sargent. Seven hours and one fried breakfast later the sheer magnitude of the resolution dawned upon me.

I have pounded over 360 miles through the streets of London, braving wind, rain and snow, with the aim to raise AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE for these children.

With only a couple of days to go, YOU can help Clic Sargent continue their great work by sponsoring me.
