Anyone who knows me will know that I am not particularly fit and definitely not a runner but I am going to attempt to run the Hampton Court Palace Half marathon for The Royal Marsden Charity for a little boy called George Woodall in Reigate.

Here's his family's story..

"On January 3rd we were told by the doctors at The Royal Marsden Hospital that a lump that we’d found on his back just five weeks earlier (known as Tony the tumour) was in fact cancer. A Primitive Neuro Ectodermal
Tumour (PNET) to give it its proper name. George is only four years old.

The news has knocked us sideways. It’s every parent’s worst
nightmare and we are so, so scared of what the future holds. But what we do know is that while it’s going to be a tough road ahead, this is one
fight Tony the tumour is not going to win.

Treatment over the coming months, will include a combination of intense Chemo, Surgery, Radiotherapy - followed by more Chemo for good measure.

Please help us raise £100,000 for The Royal Marsden Hospital

 Seeing all those young children with no hair and tubes coming out of
them on our first visit to The Royal Marsden, was truly heartbreaking.
Yet the thing that struck us the most was how many of those kids had a
smile on their face. It was then that we decided to set up ‘George and the Giant Pledge’, because no child should ever have to have their childhood taken from them in this terrible way.

 Little did we know, of course, that George would soon be losing his
hair and have tubes sticking out of him, like the kids we saw that first
 day. But with George and the Giant Pledge we're aiming high and staying positive."

 The money raised will go to the children's team at The Royal Marsden.
This will help fund much needed research into children's cancer - as
well as help The Royal Marsden staff continue the outstanding work
they're doing for children and families affected by cancer. We’ve been
blown away by the support we’ve received so far, and for that we can’t
thank you enough.
