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

Hello

Thanks for stopping by! This Marathon idea came about because it takes place 10 days before my 30th birthday and I thought it would be a great way to enter my 4th decade at the peak of physical fitness. Well at least it sounded a good idea when I was harping on about it and entered into the national ballot which is notoriously difficult to get a place in. I forgot about the fact that I work for Unilever and Flora sponsor the marathon! So I found myself entering the ballot at work and now find myself in the Marathon - no turning back!

So if I am going to go through 4 and a half months of disciplined trainig and 26 miles of pain, I thought I should make it worthwhile.

I am raising money for 2 charities. Any donations made on this page will go to Cancer Research. My Grandma died of Cancer before I was born, when my Mum was only 31 so I want to raise as much as I can to help research this disease and find cures.

Any money that I raise through events, competitions and advertising on my website will go to The Alzheimer's Society in memory of my Grandfathers. This is another terrible disease which causes such a loss of dignity.

Any amount that you can spare would be greatly appreciated!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
