Raising money for

Cancer Research UK

Charity Registration No. 1089464

Cancer Research UK is the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research. We support research into all aspects of cancer through the work of more than 4,250 scientists, doctors and nurses. Over the past 10 years alone, thousands of lives have been saved through earlier detection and improved treatments. But, much work remains to be done if we are to achieve our aim of beating cancer.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Everybody, at some point in their life, will be affected by cancer; either directly or indirectly.

This vicious disease must be stopped but that can only happen when we fully understand the causes. By helping to support the research into cancer you can make a difference, anyone can raise money for Cancer Research UK just contact your local offices (information can be found on their website) for ideas and get involved.

If just 1% of people in the country today raised £100 each that would be around £58,000,000 to fund research.

Run2Work week is something i intend to do every year as my way of supporting Cancer Research UK, anyone can join in, anywhere. Just pass the link of this sponsor site along to everyone you know and get your running shoes on!

The event itself is taking place between the 22nd-26th of September, during which time i will be running a total of 63 miles between my hometown of Morley and work in the centre of Leeds. However you don't need to be doing this kind of distance if you want to join in, it could be a mile a day or less, the point is you make an effort.

To follow my progress you can view my daily blog at http://info.itvlocal.com/runtowork.shtml

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
