Bournemouth Marathon Festival Full Marathon 2016 · 2 October 2016 ·

Leukaemia Busters is a UK-registered medical research charity with a huge vision – a world in which leukaemia is quickly, safely and completely cured. We work towards this vision by funding and conducting our own research into finding new and safer antibody-based treatments for currently incurable forms of leukaemia. We receive no government funding and rely wholly on public support. With your help we are bringing new hope to leukaemia patients, both children and adults alike, by fighting for their lives through research.

Story

You don't need to know me well to know I am no runner. The furthest I've ever run is 5km however I want to raise money for this amazing charity leukaemia Busters because sadly my beautiful little cousin has been recently diagnosed with leukaemia and is at the beginning of a very long journey of treatment. She is the bravest little girl I know.

I have been told I am unable to donate blood which has given me even more motivation to do this... 

So after much thought about what I could do to raise awareness and funds I've decided to challenge myself to the extreme and run a full marathon in October? However due to persistent injuries I have had to withdraw and go to the half marathon instead which is still a huge challenge for me.

My step dad Mark is still running the full marathon so all is not lost. 

Please please please give all you can to help me reach my target of £1000

Thank you everyone!
