My story

 

UPDATE

On behalf of myself, Karen & Dan Rogers, Abby Warner, Kerry Mackfall and Lynn Paalman, A BIG THANK YOU for your sponsorship and support.  We all finished the race in fabulous times and enjoyed every minute of our experience. But more than that we are proud that we have managed to raise the profile of Neuroblastoma and raise lots of money for this charity. 

We all did this in Jacob's memory and I am sure all of us were thinking there was a special someone with us when that sun appeared as we made our way across the Lake. 

Thank you and please keep supporting this very worthwhile cause, all in Jacob's memory. xxx

Ali Beckman and Karen Rogers are owners of this page and are determined, each year, to find a challenge to raise money for the Neuroblastoma Society.  Jacob Marsland, a local boy of 6 years of age, was suffering from this rare aggressive form of cancer  and desperately needed treatment in the US.   Sadly Jacob did not get to benefit from any of the funds we and many others raised as he was cruely taken by this monster of a disease in January 2009.  Since then his family have appealed for friends and family to raise money for The Neuroblastoma Society so that research can be done to hopefully enable the UK to offer treatment in the future.  We hate the thought of anyone going through the pain and suffering Jacob and his family had to go through and this is why all our future challenges will be for this Charity.  We hope to keep this page running and update it with new challenges and team members throughout the year.  If you think you would be interested in joining any challenge we are involved in PLEASE contact us.

Thank you

Ali & Karen
