Story
A couple of years ago I asked Sue Ballard, founder of Pancreatic Cancer UK, how I could get a place in the London Marathon.
Last year she reminded me of this and recruited me for the PCUK Reading Half Marathon team so that I could get experience of a race more than 10K. Unfortunately I got injured so had to pull out.
This year I finally have a place in the London Marathon to help raise funds for an ambulatory cancer centre at University College London Hospital where I work (see www.justgiving.com/stevepereira). The centre will allow patients to access treatments, diagnostics, counselling, information, complementary therapies and support on a totally integrated basis.
Sue offered me a place in Reading Half Marathon again this year as a practice race so let's hope I make it this time. In exchange I want to raise some funds for Pancreatic Cancer UK to help their mission to make a difference for those suffering from this disease through research, awareness, support and information.
