<p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>I&nbsp;am participating in the&nbsp;Liverpool Half Marathon on the 27th of March 2011. I have decided to raise money for&nbsp;Cancer Research UK&nbsp;because I believe it is a very worth while cause as the disease affects many people&nbsp;and consiquently&nbsp;their family and friends.</p> <p>I personally&nbsp;have experienced the effects of this disease&nbsp;as 2 years ago my father was diagnosed with Cancer, fortunately after receiving treatment he is hopefully well on his way to a full recovery. This experience has made me realise how important research into Cancer is and I hope that you will help me&nbsp;in raising money for this charity.</p> <p>Please give generously,</p> <p>With&nbsp;many thanks David&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
