Victoria Park - Southport · 17 October 2010 ·

Stephanie Moore MBE set up the Bobby Moore Fund in partnership with Cancer Research UK, following the death of her husband, Bobby Moore, from bowel cancer. The Bobby Moore Fund is now a leader in the fight against bowel cancer, funding research that’s helping more people to survive than ever before.

Story

This is the fun part…….

I am running the 10k to raise money for the Bobby Moore Bowel cancer fund. The Bobby Moore Fund raises money for bowel cancer research in memory of Bobby Moore who died from the disease. The Fund was set up by Bobby's widow, Stephanie Moore MBE, in partnership with Cancer Research UK in 1993. To date, the Fund has raised over £12 million pounds, which has the objective of raising money for cutting edge bowel cancer research, and raising awareness of its high risk symptoms.

As I have never ran as far as 10K before, I have no idea what time I could complete a 10K run. I believe I would be able to complete in around 50-55 minutes (not sure how I came to this number), but knowing me as you do, I am aiming for a sub 45 minute 10K. At the moment, this seems highly unlikely (to the point of impossible), but as I am aiming to take your hard earned money from you, then I believe you should at least get to know how much suffering I will have, between now and the run. This will be made even more difficult due to training issues that will be encountered by travelling with work, as well as having duff ankles.

So please sponsor me now, I can assure you all that this is going to hurt like hell!

Regards.

Dean.
