Story

For those of you that know Miss Hogan realise that this will be a 'Walk in the Park' - but not for Miss Corker!!

In 2009 Sarah tried to convince Cheryl that completing a half marathon would be a good idea, it was for Sarah. But now here we are in 2010 and the guilt was too much to take and both of us are taking part in the 2010 Robin Hood Half Marathon.

We are raising money on behalf of Cancer Research UK, a worthy cause I'm sure you'll agree. So please support us and donate now.

Every pound makes a difference

Here are some examples how the money you raise can help:

  • £15 could pay for a lab coat to protect a scientist from harmful chemicals, and their experiments from contamination.
  • £182 could buy 1,500 plastic petri dishes. They're an essential resource for thousands of scientists who are working hard to understand cancer.
  • £300 could enable one of our senior research nurses to treat and monitor a patient on a clinical trial for around two days.
  • £528 could buy 20,000 glass slides for studying cells and tumour samples in detail under a microscope.
  • £1,050 could fund around four microarrays - powerful pieces of gene technology that allow scientists to compare how active different genes are in cancer cells and healthy cells.  
  • £5,800 could cover three week's running costs for a large-scale clinical trial testing whether a drug called celecoxib - similar to ibuprofen - can help to prevent bladder cancer from coming back after treatment
