A team of 11 will be taking on the Paris Marathon on the 10th of April to raise money for the Too Many Women campaign, a fundraising initiative supporting Breakthrough Breast Cancer Research. In addition, I have decided to match the monies raised on this page (hopefully with the help of my family) and pass this contribution to the Prostate Cancer charity. In case anyone has missed the obvious – the more you give the more I have to give – so please be generous.
As people will be aware, these two cancers are the most prevalent forms for women and men and both have impacted people that I love.
The Too Many Women campaign that was put together by Harry Becher and Catriona Blampied, who shared the experience of having both their mother’s diagnosed with breast cancer within a few months of each other. The outpouring of support they received inspired them to make a difference in memory of Harry’s mother Judith and as a thanks for the wonderful treatment received by Catriona’s mother, Marilyn. Too Many Women is aiming to raise over £1million before the end of July 2011 for the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Research Centre on London's Fulham Road http://www.toomanywomen.co.uk
