Hello!

I hope the reader is well and happy, and thank you for taking the time to visit and read this page.

In April 2018 I will be running the London Marathon in aid of Worldwide Cancer Research.

This worthy charity was set up in order to support research projects all over the world, aimed at the improvement of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer. Most of us have been or will be affected by cancer in some way. The effect it has on the individual, as well as family and friends, is indescribable. Its indiscriminateness also makes us all at risk, young and old alike. However, with the work of this charity, and many like it, we can be hopeful of better survival rates, and of treatments with less brutal side-effects.

This charity has recently funded projects whose breakthroughs have made a difference in Fanconi's Anaemia (a rare childhood condition which predisposes you to cancer) and in spinal cord tumours. New methods have been developed to target the tumours more selectively in treatment, and projects have come to better understand the genetic basis of cancer. The money here raised could provide the resources for the next advancement.

Any donation you could spare, no matter how large or small, would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance for your support.
