Hi

Thanks for checking out my justgiving page.  It has always been an ambition of mine to run the London marathon having seen my uncle run it when I was very young.  I had set myself a target to complete it myself by the time I hit 30, luckily I will just manage it.

I am running the London marathon not only for a personal sense of achievement, but also to raise money for a good cause.

Cancer is unfortunatley a disease that affects us all at some point in our lives, whether that be a family member, friend, colleague or directly yourself.  Charities such as Tenovus not only help in the research to find new ways to help us beat cancer, but also provide us with support when we need it the most.

Your donation will help Tenovus to;

Launch a mobile cancer support unit which will deliver chemotherapy, practical and emotional support, provide cancer screening and help us raise awareness of cancer in local communities and schools.

Set up local support centres - these centres will offer vital emotional and practical support in areas of the greatest need..

Develop a children's bereavement service to provide a safe, child-friendly environment, where children are encouraged to talk about their fears and concerns arising from a cancer diagnosis of a close family member.

Run a PhD Studentships programme offering bright minds the funds they need to contribute to the development of innovative cancer care and support.

Extend our Cancer Support Team so we can help cancer patients and their families across Wales.

Open a multi media education and training centre that will be a point of access to information and development.

Establish links with existing self-help groups and form new ones to help cancer patients and their family through their whole cancer journey.

Please dig deep and sponsor me as much as you can to help me reach my target for such a worthwhile cause.

Thanks

David
