Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Six months ago, Giles Cowley, died prematurely, aged just 44, to bowel cancer. After bravely fighting the disease for four years, Giles sadly lost the battle, leaving Becca his wife and two young children. He should be here today, and this is why I’ve decided (along with my friend Den Embleton) to run the Vienna Marathon on April 29th in his memory. Becca chose the Bobby Moore Fund to receive the funds we raise as they are doing important research into ways to tackle the disease from which he died. With more knowledge, perhaps other families can avoid similar devastation.
Your support will make a real impact and help prevent such future deaths. My fundraising target of £25,000 would be an immensely important contribution towards funding much needed research into bowel cancer. That money will go to the Bobby Moore Fund, the charity that Bobby’s widow, Stephanie, set up in his memory, and who like Giles, was cut down in his prime.
Thank you, Trevor
Further Information about the Charity
In one year alone, bowel cancer will claim the lives of over 16,500 people - that is more than double the total runners in the Vienna Marathon! These statistics are truly frightening. With the exception of lung cancer, bowel cancer claims more lives in the than any other cancer. However, if diagnosed and treated early, bowel cancer is over 90% curable.
Since 1993, the Fund has raised over £7 million and has funded pioneering research through fifteen Research Fellowships. The Fund has opened a Bobby Moore laboratory at St Mark’s Hospital, which is recognised as a leading centre of excellence both clinically and scientifically. The Bobby Moore Fund is a part of Cancer Research , which is also committed to raising the awareness of bowel cancer, and played an important role in lobbying of the government on bowel cancer screening.
Your donation will go a long way towards funding a new Bobby Moore Fund clinical Research Fellowship or a Bobby Moore Project Award, ensuring the continuation of the vital first class research. To guarantee scientific excellence, these are awarded on an extremely competitive basis, allowing only the best scientists to undertake relevant and innovative clinical and translational research for three to four years.
At present, 45 people die everyday from bowel cancer in the . With your support, we can continue to fund vital research and together, help tackle bowel cancer. ************************************************************************************ I'M DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT TREVOR & DEN BOTH SUCCESSFULLY MADE IT ROUND VIENNA ON SUNDAY, IN VERY RESPECTABLE TIMES DESPITE THE HEAT!
