Total Gas & Power Marathon Trek on The South Downs · 26 September 2014

We raise money to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. From funding state-of-the-art equipment and groundbreaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, we will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.

Story

I am taking up this 26 mile marathon on the South Downs for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. This will be my first marathon and a great challenge for myself as I've never ran longer than 12miles. 

I have chosen The Royal Marsden as my preferred charity because I sadly lost a good friend to Leukemia last year who was treated there. Carl was only 28 at the time of his death. Last year my Nan who is 76 was diagnosed with bone & breast cancer. She is currently being treated by The Royal Marsden with positive results. Cancer in any form can affect us no matter our age.

You never think it will happen to someone you know but sadly 1 in 3 of us are affected by cancer and this seems to be on the increase.

So if you could kindly sponsor me for this challenge whether its to support this great cause or to see me in great pain while I drag my 14 1/2 stone round 26miles of hills.

Please remember to add give add as this is another 25% at no extra charge from yourself.
