On Sunday 23rd April 2023 I'm taking part in the London Marathon to raise money for the Ninewells Cancer Campaign in memory of Neal Gillies and Iain Stuart who both sadly died from cancer over 9 years ago  

They both battled cancer with bravery and dignity and were such infectious characters that they left a lasting impression with anyone they met. 

Iain is on the right of the picture above and Neal is next to him  

Ninewells Cancer Campaign has been raising money since 1991 to support local cancer research and treatment at Ninewells Hospital. Our initial appeal raised £1 million to establish the Biomedical Research Centre within the University of Dundee Medical School, bringing more than 150 scientists together to create a centre of excellence for cancer research. Further successful fundraising campaigns supported the creation of the Princess Alexandra Cancer Treatment Centre within Ward 32, and the Pat McPherson Centre for Pharmacogenomics and Pharmacogenetics to promote research into more personalised treatments for cancer. Most recently, NCC supported creation of the Jacqui Wood Cancer Centre at Ninewells Hospital, further promoting translational cancer research and fast tracking research findings to improve treatments and outcomes for local cancer patients.
