Dear friends and family,

I am running the London Marathon on April 21st 2013 with my Ralph Lauren colleagues to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Cancer Research UK's work on the causes and prevention of cancer has saved millions of lives across the world. Over the next decade they aim to save many more.

Cancer survival rates have doubled in the last 40 years and our work has been at the heart of that progress.

They fund the work of more than 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses throughout the UK and support over 200 clinical trials, testing vital new drugs and treatments for cancer.
