I am running the Bournemouth half marathon to help raise money for CLIC Sargent who have been a great support to my friend's Emma & Phil over the past 2 years.

Their brave little boy Daniel was diagnosed with leukaemia in August 2012 at the age of just 18 months. Daniel was first diagnosed with low risk leukaemia  but in December 2012 he relapsed and was put into a high risk protocol which required long stays in Oxfords John Radcliffe Hospital while receiving high dose chemotherapy. He then had to have a bone marrow transplant in Bristol Children's Hospital, where he spent 4 months.  He has since had a stem cell transplant, more chemo and continues still to battle this horrific disease. Both Oxford and Bristol are an hour away from Daniels home in Swindon.

CLIC Sargent have been a great support to Daniels family, the main contribution being in the form of free accommodation close to the hospital. Only 1 parent can stay with Daniel in the hospital, the CLIC house has meant that both of his parents can stay close by, thus reducing travel costs and the stress associated with a round trip of 100 miles per day.

Please help to support this fantastic charity and ensure Daniels family, and others in similar situations, continue to receive this fantastic support. Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
