Story

<div class="frp-message-body" style="height: auto;"> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p> <p>Jo and I ran the Wolverhampton Half last year and were astounded by the generosity of friends and family to help us raise &pound;1200 for Cancer Research UK.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As&nbsp;most of you will be aware, I have decided that that wasn't enough torture and have been training for the&nbsp;Blackpool Marathon which is taking place on 11th March 2012.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Again I am running in aid of Cancer Research UK, a charity that is close to my heart.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>My auntie, Glen Mills is currently battling cancer and so&nbsp;I wanted to do something to raise as much money as&nbsp;possible to help fund research into this terrible illness.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">All of the money that we are able to raise will generously be matched by Towergate Insurance, the insurance broker that I work for so please dig deep and give us as much as you can.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Towergate has made a special agreement with Cancer Research UK, that monies raised by employees will help fund a research project run by Professor Harris in Oxford that is looking into treatments that can prevent tumours from forming their own blood supply &ndash; one of the best chances we have of stopping the growth and spread of many types of cancer <a title="blocked::http://www.towergate.org.uk/" href="http://www.towergate.org.uk/"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">www.towergate.org.uk</span></a>.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;">&nbsp;</p> <p>So basically&nbsp; a donation of &pound;10 means that &pound;20 actually goes to the charity - Amazing!</p> <p>I really appreciate your support and thank you for your donations.</p> <p>With your help, we can ensure more people beat cancer.</p> <p>Jenn</p> <p>xx</p> </div>
