<p>Thanks friends for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>On Dec 4th Duncan Simpson and richard tremere will be running the West Palm Beach Marathon <a href="http://www.runpalmbeaches.com/">http://www.runpalmbeaches.com/</a> raising money for a great charity that supports Leukaemia sufferers and their families. Below is a message by Peter Tumilty (Duncan's cousin) who recently lost his lovely wife Katrina to the disease.</p>
<p><em>Its hard to convey in words the emotions that you go through when someone you love is snatched away by a condition such as Leukaemia. It is even harder when things happen unexpectedly and very rapidly.</em></p>
<p><em>Katrina was diagnosed with Leukeamia in October 2009 whilst on holiday in St Ives. The initial treatment provided a temporary remission, but returned the following year. Subsequent treatment meant long stays at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford. Visiting entailed a hundred mile round trip from Bracknell each time. </em></p>
<p><em>Katrina's last visit to the hospital was to have been for routine treatment, however her condition unexpectedly deteriorated within a few short days. Without the accomodation provided by the <a title="Karen Morris Trust" href="http://www.kmmt.org.uk/index/index">Karen Morris Trust</a> it would have been very difficult to support Katrina by spending the time together.</em></p>
<p>Please give other families and hospitals the chance to benefit from the Karen Morris Trust's work and donate now.</p>
<p>Many Thanks</p>
<p>Duncan, Richard & Peter</p>
