Brooks Fleet pre-London Half Marathon 2014 · 16 March 2014 ·

We're dedicated to beating blood cancer. We fund research and support those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. The day we beat blood cancer is now in sight and our researchers are determined to finish the job.

Story

The three of us are running Fleet Half Marathon to raise money for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research and any donations (no matter what size) are massively appreciated.

We all originally signed up to both the Reading and Fleet Half Marathons to get in to shape afer a full on Christmas of eating and drinking but when we realised we could also raise money for such a good cause we also agreed to run the Fleet Half for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research. All of us personally know people who have battled/are battling with blood cancers and we therefore would like to raise as much money as possible to help the charity continue to find causes, improve early and accurate diagnosis and develop safer and more effective treatements for blood cancer patients.

We have been training for the last few months and the Reading Half was good preperation for Fleet but has left us with a few aches and pains, particularly Unders who managed to pull his calf within the first mile of the Reading course. Despite this he managed to complete Reading in 1 hour 56 minutes and is determined to complete the Fleet Half so is currently icing his leg every 5 minutes! Myself and Mark aren't suffering quite as much so we are going to do all we can to beat our times for Reading by as much as possible.
