Story

Thank you for visiting my Justgiving Page.

I will be running the NYC Marathon on the 2nd November 2008, almost a year to the day my father very sadly died of cancer. As a result, I have offered my running services to raise funds for The Institute of Cancer Research.

The day my father died, as he devoured his daily broadsheets, one of the nurses heard him mumble under his breath, "This bl**dy tumour is going to kill me." Research is the only way in which we will be able to save others from this demise.

Please give generously.
