Yes it's true, GDF Suez Team Legal are running the Leeds Half Marathon on 9th May in aid of Yorkshire Cancer Research which does fantastic work in carrying out research into the causes and cures of cancer across the region.

We have an ambitious target but then again we are an ambitious bunch who up until recently couldn’t even run for a bus! We have now forsaken Friday night drinks in favour of training and hope that you will all contribute whatever you can to make up for our loss of social life and help us achieve our target.

We have created this website through JustGiving as it is a simple, fast and secure way of donating. Your details are secure and safe with JustGiving – they will never sell them on or send unwanted emails to you. Once you donate, they will send your money directly to Yorkshire Cancer Research and they will make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a taxpayer. Therefore please remember to gift aid your donations. So this is the most efficient way to donate – we will raise more money, whilst saving time and cutting the costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
