Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Some might say I'm stupid, but I've gone and agreed to run a marathon next week with 10 days notice and very little training.&nbsp;I think I'd be stupid not to!</p> <p>A friend of mine has just be told she has a number of tumours in her brain and will be starting chemo again shortly - she has fought and won her battles with cancer many times and is determined to do so again.</p> <p>Inspired by her bravery, inner strength and determination I have promised to finish this marathon (which&nbsp;due to the lack of training will be my hardest yet)&nbsp;and to raise&nbsp;a little bit of valuable funding for cancer research along the way.</p> <p>So for all&nbsp;our brave&nbsp;friends and family fighting this awful disease please&nbsp;donate whatever&nbsp;you can afford to&nbsp;and help the scientists to continue&nbsp;to try find a cure. They've made such massive advances in recent years, lets not make them stop now! &nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you</p> <p>Luretta xx</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
