Raising money for

The Institute of Cancer Research

Charity Registration No. X90004

The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) is one of the world's top cancer research organisations and the only one in Europe directly involved in all stages of cancer research, from genetics through to drug development.

The ICR's unique partnership with The Royal Marsden Hospital forms Europe's largest cancer research centre and ensures that discoveries made in the ICR's laboratories are swiftly translated into treatment and care for those affected by cancer.

The Institute of Cancer Research has been leading the way in the fight against cancer for a hundred years and we are making some truly exciting breakthroughs.

It was the ICR that first noticed the suspected link between smoking and cancer. It was the ICR that first recognized that all cancers are genetic. It is the ICR that is now identifying hundreds of genes that contribute to the development of cancer. And it is the ICR that is developing new drugs to target the genetic causes of many different types of cancer.

Having been responsible for some of the greatest achievements in the history of cancer research, the ICR’s world-leading scientists work tirelessly to continue making progress in the ongoing fight against cancer, but they need your help now, and in the future, to realise their ultimate goal: to see an end to cancer as a life threatening disease.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A few months ago a very good friend of mine, Martin Cole, lost his battle with cancer. Martin was a pretty remarkable guy. He was one of the most inspirational people I've ever met, and along with everyone else who knew him, I miss him terribly. I worked with him for a good few years in various ad agencies, and sung with him at karaoke for a whole lot more.

One of the things that was especially difficult to get my head round during his illness and after he died, was the rotten feeling that there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. Except there is. So I decided to get off my arse, do something positive and raise some money for cancer research. And given my usual lifestyle, if I can get a little healthier in the process all the better.

So on 11 October i will be running my first half marathon to raise money for the Institute of Cancer Research. The ICR is one of the top research organisations in the world and the only one in Europe directly involved in all stages of cancer research, from genetics through to drug development. My target is to raise £1,500. It won't change the world, but its got to help somewhere along the line, so please dig deep and make a donation.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks very much
