Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Kevin Mowat.

I run for the Bitton Road Runners and recently heard of Eve Bressington, a local 16 year old who has recently been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called GIST (Gastro Intestinal Stromal Tumour).

I’ve been running for four years and will be running in the Boston marathon in America on 18^th April 2011. This is the first time that I have run in aid of a charity.

I heard about Eve’s plight at Christmas and could think of no better way to help than to focus my running skills on raising funds for the PAWS-GIST doctors who have come together in 2011 with the sole purpose of working to improve treatments and find a cure for Eve and the other Paediatric, Adolescent, Wildtype & Syndromic GIST patients in the UK.

What’s in it for me?

It will make me run faster and the thought that I am helping this fantastic cause will give real meaning to my efforts. All sponsorship donations will go straight to GIST Support UK’s PAWS-GIST fund and will be used by the doctors to further their research and support the PAWS-GIST patients in the UK.

Thank you for sponsoring me and if you are a tax payer please make sure that you gift aid your donation so that we maximise the funds raised.

Kevin
