Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

I'm running the Virgin London Marathon 2012 in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust and in memory of my amazing niece Alice who sadly lost her battle with rhabdomyosarcoma in November 2008 aged just 18.

She was incredible young woman and an inspiration to all who had the privelege to meet her.  If you have a moment, please take the time to have a look at some of the films she made during her treatment:

She was passionate about improving treatment facilities for teenagers suffering from cancer and my aim is to raise at least £2,000 for this fantastic cause.

I've never run a marathon before so it's a huge challenge for me but one that I'm looking forward to getting my teeth into.
