Virgin London Marathon 2012 · 22 April 2012 ·

The Fight for Life children's cancer fund (part of UCLH Charity) raises money to treat children at the new University College Hospital Euston Road, London. In addition to equipment we provide a play area and a wonderful play therapist help to make the unit 'kid friendly' and much less scary.

Story

<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">Fantastic news!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">I have&nbsp;been awarded&nbsp;a ballot place&nbsp;for the London marathon!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">This is my fifth marathon and if my knees have their way, it will be my last (you have heard that before!!)</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">I have decided to fundraise for FIGHT for LIFE, a children's cancer charity within University College Hospitals. They are an incredibly dedicated group of people who have raised money tirelessly&nbsp;for 14 years in order to support the radiotherapy department at UCLH. This money has provided state of the art equipment to treat children with cancer and equipped a superb play facility in the department. Their Christmas parties for the children are legendary. I work in the radiotherapy department as a radiographer and see first hand what their wonderful fundraising efforts have&nbsp;achieved for the kids here. I want to help them by running this marathon&nbsp;and show my support for their work.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">Please help me to make this a fantastic fundraiser for all kids with cancer.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">Please dig deep and donate now!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
