<p>Oh crikey..I've ony gone and got a place in the London Marathon 2012...!!!</p> <p>Thanks to my fantastic running club Fareham Crusaders I was lucky enough to get a place in the ballot. I'm using that place&nbsp;as my next fundraising challenge for Macmillan Cancer Support.&nbsp; I've done Kilimanjaro, tick, &nbsp;Great South and North Runs, tick...This is the next big challenge. April 22nd 2012. The countdown begins.</p> <p>Why Macmillan? For those who may be new to my story; two years ago I was diagnosed with aggressive bone cancer in my upper arm.&nbsp; I was swiftly operated upon with my upper arm bone being replaced with a stainless steel prosthesis (see photo!). I have permanent limitations on my shoulder now and have had two years of physio and a further operation to get&nbsp;&nbsp;it to its full limited capability. I am currently&nbsp;clear and have regular&nbsp;monitoring.</p> <p>My family and I were given tremendous suport from Macmillan during a very worrying and emotional time. As a thank you to&nbsp;Macmillan,&nbsp;to help them help others&nbsp;Ive embarked on ongoing challenges to raise money. This&nbsp;26.2 mile run&nbsp;is the next challenge.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
