As a member of a running club, I love running and taking part in races.  I have done a number of half marathons, but never yet attempted a marathon.  Since I have started telling people that I am running in the London Marathon, people have been asking me if I am fundraising, so I thought that it would be a great opportunity to raise awareness and money for a charity for Bladder Cancer. 

On 6th March 2015, it will be two years since I lost my dad.  He had bladder cancer and died after an operation to remove his bladder, which was intending to prolong his life.  The charity I have chosen is 'Fight Bladder Cancer' which is a charity run entirely by people affected by this disease, offering support to those in need of it.

Any money I raise will go to this charity, and can perhaps go some way to research into better cures for this nasty disease.
