SO FAR IN 2014 I HAVE RAN VARIOUS RACES INCLUDING HALF MARATHONS AND THE VIRGIN LONDON MARATHON (A TRUELY PAINFUL BUT AMAZING EXPERIENCE) ALL WITH THE AIM TO RAISE AS MUCH MONEY AS I CAN FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER UK (PREVIOUSLY CHILDREN WITH LEUKAEMIA UK)

EVERYONE KNOWS SOMEONE WHO HAS EITHER SUFFERED FROM OR IS CURRENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH SOME SORT OF CANCER, NONE MORE THAN MYSELF. MANY OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED LIFE AND HAD MANY MAGICAL MOMENTS. NOW IMAGINE A YOUNG CHILD DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, MANY NOT LIVING LONG ENOUGH TO EXPERIENCE THOSE MAGIC MOMENTS. HAVING TO SUFFER TEST AFTER TEST INSTEAD OF SUFFERING TEST AFTER TEST IN SCHOOL WITH THEIR MATES, LIVING A NORMAL CHILDHOOD.

YOUR DONATION WILL GO TOWARDS FUNDING LIFE-SAVING RESEARCH INTO THE CAUSES, PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF CHILDHOOD CANCER.

HAVING A PRECIOUS LITTLE DAUGHTER OF MY OWN HAS CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE AND OPENED MY EYES TO THE MAIN TREASURES IN LIFE....FAMILY!

MANY OF YOU I'M SURE HAVE YOUR OWN LITTLE FAMILY AND, GOD FORBID, SHOULD ANY OF YOUR LITTLE ONES ARE DIAGNOSED, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU COULD OF HELPED TOWARDS RESEARCH AND A BETTER TREATMENT OR EVEN CURE FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER, BUT DIDN'T!

NOW I'M DOING MY BIT WITH THE GRUELLING TRAINING IN THE COLD, WIND, RAIN AND SNOW TO MAKE SURE I COMPLETE EVERY RACE AND TO DO MY BIT TO HELP TOWARDS THIS GREAT CAUSE, WILL YOU GO THAT EXTRA MILE AND DO YOUR BIT AND DONATE?
