<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>On April 22 I shall be running in the London Marathon to raise funds for the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR).</span></span></p>

It forms a college of the University of London, and is a leading global academic research centre with the highest percentage of world leading research in biological sciences and cancer studies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>In these difficult financial times, charitable funding for this type of work is all the more important.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: auto 0cm;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The ICR’s mission is to make the discoveries that defeat cancer, and every day the work of its scientists and clinicians has a real impact on cancer patients’ lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>Many of us have been touched by personal experiences of cancer affecting friends relatives or ourselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>It will make the hard work of training for my first (and quite possibly only) road marathon much more bearable knowing that I will be raising money for such a worthwhile cause.</span></span></p>
