My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the London Marathon in 2012 for the University of Bristol Cancer Research Fund (go to  fhttp://www.bristol.ac.uk/centenarycampaign/strategic-imperatives/health/cancer.html or more information). All proceeds will go to the University's Cancer Research Fund. I am running because Dr Tony Rich, one of my oldest friends, and, until recently, Registrar of the University of Bristol, has an incurable cancer. I have known Tony since we first met as young administrators at the University of Warwick in the early 1980s. Tony has become one of the most respected senior professionals in UK higher education. He served with distinction at Sheffield University, as Academic Registrar at the University of East Anglia, and as Registrar at the University of Essex before his recent appointment to Bristol. He and I share much in common: lifelong supporters of Norwich City Football Club,  a love of cricket, his family and many shared friends. Tony is one of the most popular people in higher education and in every community he has lived in, worked for and played sport for. Please show your support for Cancer Research and Tony by giving generously through this page.

I have never run a marathon before and my training has just got going in earnest. My friendship with Tony will inspire me, as will my debt to the University of Bristol, where I was an undergraduate in the 1970s. This is a huge opportunity to raise significant sums to beat the cancer that is taking Tony's life. Please help.
