One in three people are affected by cancer.  Every day lives are changed forever by this disease, which indiscriminately alters the futures of people everywhere.

UCLH is building one of the top cancer centres in Europe.  This cancer centre will open in 2012 on Huntley Street, and it will be a state of the art building, with each floor designed around the needs of patients with different cancers, including dedicated facilities for teenage cancers, women's health and men's cancers.

The cancer centre will be linked with the UCL Cancer Institute which is situated directly opposite the site, encouraging unchartered opportunity for close collaboration between these two prestigous institutions.  Together they will form a centre for excellence.

The NHS trust has asked UCLH Charitable Foundation to raise £40 million of the costs (total cost is £100 million) for the cancer centre - I am running a half marathon on Sunday 11th October to raise money to help to support this cause.

Any amount you feel able to  give will help UCLH plan positively and reliably for the future, and for the future of this incredible cancer centre.  Thank you.
