Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This time last year the members of Team Ellis aimed to raise as much money as possible in memory of their dearly missed friend Ellis Clark. This money went to the heroic folk at CLIC Sargent and to the Ellis Harriet Clark Foundation who both make the lives of children suffering with cancer a little easier. http://www.clicsargent.com/   

Whilst Ellis was ill, she and her family were given huge support by CLIC Sargent, S.C.A.T and the Teenage Cancer Trust amongst others. Thanks to these charities, their contacts and Ellis' friends, in the four years she was ill Ellis was lucky enough to meet people such as the double Olympic champion Kelly Holmes and became good friends with Fearne Cotton, she received birthday calls from Lisa Scott-Lee, featured in Closer magazine when she met Coleen Rooney, she was driven to Paris in a convoy of black cabs full of children with cancer, she went to balls and danced with the stars from Stricty and was given the VIP treatment at X-Factor. Ellis loved enjoying these treats and would say these were the important things, but the charities also made token gestures such as funding brand new children's cancer wards in the University of London College Hospital, provided support to nurses at the Middlesex Hospital where she started her treatment and offered twenty-four hour care and assistance to everyone involved.

Unfortunately despite completing the majority of his training and helping to raise a huge £12,970 for CLIC, Chris had to pull out of the big day at the last minute through injury. However he's back running and dragging me along with him, so after some persuasion I agreed to let him try and keep up with me on the full 26.2 miles of the London Marathon course on 25th April 2010! With a little bit of effort from us and a few pounds from you, CLIC and can keep up this amazing work bringing smiles and recovery to other children suffering with cancer.
