Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be running the 2021 London Marathon on 3rd October on behalf of a great charity, Cancer Research UK.

1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime. I can't imagine that there is any family that has not been impacted in some way by cancer. Cancer Research UK is the leading cancer charity in the UK. Its pioneering work into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer has helped save millions of lives.

I did the London Marathon in 1991 and vowed never to do it again given the pain I was in at the end of the race! However 30 years later I will try to put those demons to rest. No doubt it will hurt again but I am determined to complete the course and to beat the time that I did in 1991 of 3 hours and 45 minutes.

In lieu of my commitment to suffer further pain I would be extremely grateful if you could sponsor me and make a donation to Cancer Research UK. I would love to raise over £1000 if possible. Any donation to this worthwhile charity would be fantastic.

Thank you

Dermot
