Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I'm taking part in ISSO Seva UK's 10K National Sponsored Walk in conjunction with Cancer Research UK on the 19th of July 2009.

ISSO Seva UK has organised its first ever National Charity walk and will continue to do so each year.

Our vision is to help people help each other. We all hear people saying "there's no point as it will not make any difference if I do this or that as everyone else isn’t really helping". This is just tasteless talk. By accepting human faults and living with them all we are doing is being hypocrites.

As a wise man once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world".

This year, we are walking in aid of Cancer Research UK (UK Leading Charity for Cancer Research).
We all know that cancer is one of the world’s BIGGEST killers, but have you seen the figures?

Have a look:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Although there is a higher number of cancer deaths in the over 65s, cancer causes a greater proportion of deaths in younger people. Cancer caused a quarter of deaths in the over 65s in the UK in 2006, whereas cancer was responsible for more than a third (36%) of all deaths in the under 65s. In females under the age of 65 cancer causes 45% of deaths, while in males it is only 30%.

In people under the age of 75 years in the UK in 2006, deaths from cancer (76,063 deaths) continued to outnumber deaths from diseases of the circulatory system (ICD-10 codes I00-I99, which includes heart disease and stroke) and diseases of the respiratory system (ICD-10 J00-J99) combined (respectively 53,667 and 17,080 deaths; combined: 70,047)

With your support in the past, we have been able to set up youth centres in 4 locations (Streatham (South London), Brighton, Gatwick, & Leicester) where many teenagers and young adults have helped tremendously in our efforts to make our FIRST Charity Walk possible!
