Dartford half marathon · 29 June 2008

We're dedicated to beating blood cancer. We fund research and support those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. The day we beat blood cancer is now in sight and our researchers are determined to finish the job.

Story

Finished in 2:08:37 (my timing, more hills than expected!), official time was just over 2:09 due to not individual timers! 

Thanks again to all those who contributed, means a lot to me. 


Articles in newspapers (Wednesday 2 July 2008) report that a predicted 79% per cent of children diagnosed with the commonest type of leukaemia in 1990 will survive. Yet it is well documented that survival rates for children have been increasing year on year thanks to high quality research by charities such as Leukaemia Research, the UK’s leading blood cancer charity.

 

I'll be running the Dartford half marathon on 20th July for Leukaemia Research.

Last time I raised about £240 and hopefully will raise just as much if not more this time  

Usual lack of planning with only 2 weeks to go!  Apparently there is a hill between mile 9 and 10 for the whole mile (I've seen one or two comments about it cough!)

Just giving automatically reclaim 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement from the government, on every eligible donation.
