Hi, I've decided to put myself through the pain of running the London 2011 Marathon for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. I'm now well into my training and would be extremely grateful if you would be kind enough to sponsor any amount in order to help raise money for a fantastic cause.

Sadly, 48,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year making it the most common form of cancer. 1 in 8 women in the UK will develop breast cancer at some point in their lifetime. Breakthough is a pioneering charity saving lives and changing futures, through research, campaiging and education - removing the fear of breast cancer for good.

So please dig deep and donate now.
