London to Brighton 08 · 8 August 2008

The 2Simple Trust helps families of children suffering from neuroblastoma.

This work will shortly be transferred to a new charity set up specifically for the purpose and called The Neuroblastoma Children’s Cancer Alliance.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. On the 5th of october I will be running  from greenwich to brighton sea (90k ish) in a maximum time limit of 12hours! I have decided to do it for a little girl called Grace. The run be across fields and trails in which i will have to use navigation skills to get from check point to checkpoint. Ive never actually run a competitive marathon and considering this is just over 2 marathons in length it should be an epic challenge. But i WILL finish......eventually :-)

Grace O'Gorman was born a healthy, normal child.
During October 2007 a slight swelling on her right jaw was noticed and assumed to be a normal children's ailment. In Mid October 2007 Grace was admitted to the Bristol Children's Hospital for examination. She was immediately diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma the most serious form of this Cancer.
The prognosis showed a relatively low survival rate of approximately 20-25% in the UK. Intensive research indicated her best chance was to go to Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital (MSKCC) in New York for surgery & Monoclonal Antibody Treatment- with an 80% survival possibility.
The Family moved to New York on 7/1/2008 and Grace had her first Surgery on 21/1/08 at MSKCC. Further surgery is now planned and medical care will exceed £250,000 which is a tall order. Therefore, every little helps. Any donations are greatly appreciated
