Story

Dear All,

Firstly thank you for taking the time to visit the page.

As you may or may not know I have the privilege of running for the INCTR challenge fund at this year's London Marathon.

The INCTR Challenge fund is an International Cancer Charity based in the UK (oxford) dedicated to fighting cancer in developing countries.

The money I hope to raise with your help, will be used for purchasing chemotherapy drugs for children with Burkitt Lymphoma in the Ocean Road Cancer Institute, Tanzania.

Burkitt Lymphoma is one of the most common childhood cancers in tropical Africa and it is curable if is treated early enough. The cost of treatment is modest - as little as £150 will provide chemotherapy treatment to save the life of a child with Burkitt Lymphoma.

This is a very worthy cause and although I have the personal challenge to prepare, train, and ultimately run the marathon, I ask for your generosity and support in order to help the INCTR to save lives from cancer in developing countries.

For further information about the cause and the charities work please visit the Charities site.

Thank you for your time.
