My two-year-old son had a chest infection that he couldn't seem to shift, it seemed like one of those childhood bugs which every kid gets in the winter.

We took him to the doctor and within hours he was on the children's cancer ward with suspected Leukemia and our lives were utterly changed. 

Brody is now one month into his treatment and I find myself incredibly grateful for the research which has changed this disease from a death sentence to something which he has a real chance of beating.

While science has come a long way, the Leukemia treatment is still far from perfect, in that it doesn't cure 100% of the children who have the disease and is prone to side effects.

So in June 2013 I am going to run 69 miles over two days to raise money to help fund research which will help the next generation of children with cancer, I hope that you'll help me raise a worthwhile amount.
