I am running the London Marathon 2004 in support of The Bobby Moore Fund which is part of Cancer Research UK. The Bobby Moore Fund was set up in memory of footballer Bobby Moore who died from bowel cancer aged 51. Bobby was a central figure in my boyhood, my sporting hero. My Father Alf used to take me down to West Ham every home Saturday without fail, to watch him delight his East End fans. My earliest memories relate to watching the Hammers at Upton Park with Dad. Bobby was my number one top sporting ace.

Please sponsor me online. Don't forget, if you are a UK taxpayer the charity can claim the tax back on your donation, by almost a third, at no cost to you.

I really appreciate your donation - whatever your contribution it will help to fund the ongoing fight against this terrible disease. Please try to give generously! Many thanks.
