Virgin London Marathon 2012 · 22 April 2012 ·

The Prostate Cancer Charity and Breast Cancer Care have teamed up joint official charities for the 2012 Virgin London Marathon. Together we are TeamPB! Our goal is to recruit our biggest team to date and to raise £1 million to help change the lives of those affected by prostate and breast cancer. Prostate cancer and breast cancer are the most common cancers in men and women respectively in the UK today. This year 37,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and 50,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Combined, more than 750,000 people are living with these two cancers in the UK right now. By running together we can raise more awareness and more money to support the more than 750,000 people living with these two cancers in the UK right now. Donations and Gift Aid made to the Team PB JustGiving pages will be split 50/50 between both charities.

This means that from any monies donated, 50% will go to The Prostate Cancer charity and 50% to Breast Cancer care. If like me you've had a close family member who has suffered with Cancer, you'll know that every penny donated is another step closer to helping alleviate the suffering and to finding a cure. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp;">As part of my fund raising efforts I have set up a blog http://harinders2012blog.wordpress.com/ which will detail what's going on throughout the year.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp;">I'm also taking part in the following events as well as the London Marathon to help raise additional funds for this worthwhile cause.
