Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the London Landmarks Half Marathon on 1 August in memory of my Dad, Thomas Hamilton, who died on 1 February. Dad suffered from myelodysplasia, a rare blood cancer, and it was primarily this which brought his life to an end. He was an amazing Dad and a true family man, in addition to being an exceptionally talented scientist who dedicated his career to developing drugs to combat cardiovascular disease. Please help me to raise money for MDS UK which supports those people who suffer from myelodysplasia. 

I've run a few half marathons before, the last of which was in October 2019 which I completed in a time of 2 hours and 2 minutes. But this time I'm not aiming to get a new personal best. This race is just about trying to raise money for MDS UK. Anything you can give, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
