Virgin London Marathon 2014 · 13 April 2014 ·

It’s unacceptable that more than half of people diagnosed with the deadliest common cancer die within three months. That’s why they need and deserve more. More research, more funding, more breakthroughs. More than hope. Together we’ll make that possible.

Story

"Coucou Éric
Tu es sans doute en train de courir (souffrir?) au moment où je t'écris. 
Je ne suis pas très démonstratif, mais ça me touche énormément que tu t'investisses autant pour ce cancer, qui me semble être l'un des derniers dont on se préoccupe ."
Mail de Cédric d'octobre 2013 au moment ou je courrais le marathon d'Abingdon... rien à ajouter.


Hello dear follower, thanks for reaching this page.

Running a marathon has always been something I could never think of being able to do.
It seemed a very lonely experience to me, and I thought I would never be brave enought to achieve this.

But when it comes to tell someone you want to be there for him, it starts to be a very different story.

So yes, this marathon means much more than running 26 miles, it means telling through efforts and pain how much I care about someone. And at the same time, Pancreatic Cancer Uk allows me to raise money to fight against a disease I really discovered one year ago, through a friend illness.

I'll keep you updated with my training, and especially my races in order to be ready.

6/10/13 Blenheim palace half marathon : 1h51'17"
13/10/13 Oxford half marathon               : 1h56'24''
20/10/13 Abingdon Marathon               : 4h34'

02/03/14Reading half marathon: 1h52'

and 13/04/14 Virgin London Marathon

So, help me raising money in order to fight this disease, help me giving me strength to achieve this incredible experience.

 

Sadly, my friend passed away on Monday 10th of march.
I'll be running this for him from mile one until finish line, thinking about him every step. I hope this will mean something to his family, and still to  him maybe
