We knew Abbie Shaw - pictured left, aged 5 - who recently left us in 2006 after fighting with Neuroblastoma for several years. Read her story here: http://www.abbieshaw.me.uk/ (ensure you have a tissue to hand). Through the Neuroblastoma Society (http://www.nsoc.co.uk) we hope to run the Flora London Marathon 2008 and help aid research into this horrible cancer.
We were able to complete the Flora London Marathon 2007 in memory of Abbie, and in the process raise over £16,000 for NSOC. Kev's Mum is now undergoing a course of chemotherapy for a second "round" of cancer. We are still very passionate about what happened to Abbie and how it affects families. So we decided to run again and raise more money for NSOC. If you are a UK Tax payer, then JustGiving.com recover the TAX part, so NSOC will receive £12 for every £10 donated. If you are NOT a UK tax payer, then can you contact us at our fund raising website: www.RunningDads.com, or directly on our email addresses kevin@RunningDads.com, adrian@RunningDads.com, and transfer cash to the accounts we both have set up for NSOC donations - such that 100% of your donation arrives at NSOC's door. To see THE most upto date donation total then please see the front page of our website!
For those that supported us last year, THANK YOU, and yes, we hope to not injure ourselves on the way to the marathon, not have to wear a sling all the way round, and not have to run in quite so much sun; and just maybe we might run around a little bit quicker... ;-)
Thank you.
