Story

As an added incentive (as if watching me be sweaty and unattractive around 26.2miles of central London wasn't enough), for every £100 I raise on this page, I pledge to do something stupid and post the video on YouTube. Yep, global humiliation in the name of science and progress. 

For the first £100 I will wear my underwear on-top of my running gear for a full day. DIG DEEP!! Suggestions welcome.

I also have a training blog with more details on my motivation for running and some training progress results:

I am sure that most of you reading this know someone who has been affected by this terrible disease. It is devastating and far too common. The only way we can find cures for all kinds of cancer is through research, research, research. Please show your love and generosity and help science really make a difference!!

Thank you!
