Thanks so much for helping me raise money for Cancer Research UK.
My first marathon, nervous, excited and looking forward to the adventure.
Welcome to my Just Giving fundraising page! I am running the 2023 Edinburgh Marathon for Cancer Research UK in order to raise as much money as possible.
The money I raise through the event will help CRUK with their critical work in ways such as those detailed below: - £35 buys the nutrients that cells need to grow in the lab, allowing scientists to find out more about cancer than ever before. - £50 buys a microscope lens, meaning our scientists can focus on the small details that could help us beat cancer. - £200 buys DNA nucleotides.
These chemical building blocks make up a strand of DNA. Scientists use them to make copies of important genes, giving us clues about how things go wrong in cancer. - £270 buys an Exome sequencing experiment to find out in-depth information about our DNA, so our scientists can find cancer-causing mutations.
I would be really grateful for your donation so thank you in advance for supporting me and the vital work of CRUK
