<p><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">On May 9<sup>th</sup> 2010 I lost my lovely dad John to prostate cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He spent the last few weeks of his life in a Marie Curie hospice where he received the most amazing care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year Nigel and I decided we wanted to show our appreciation by raising money for Marie Curie Cancer Care and we will be taking part in the Staines annual 10K run which takes place on May 15<sup>th</sup> 2011.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN"><span style="font-size: small;">Marie Curie has 2,000 nurses in the UK and last year they worked for 1,200,000 hours caring for terminally ill patients.</span></span></p>
