Hey, I have joined up to take part in my first 26.2 mile marathon in Brighton next April raising money for Cancer Research UK, I chosen this charity because no doubt you will all know someone who has been affected by Cancer and no matter how big or small you sponsor me YOU have just increased everyones chance of survival. So not by only helping the cancer patient massively you will be helping their family's not having to say goodnight to a loved one.  

My story is a different story I lost my Grandad to a cancerous tumor in the brain which spread very fast taking his voice along the way this was 1 year before Cancer Research UK had started and I know if we had time on our hands things may have ended up differently!! Love you Grandad 

Have you ever thought? Maybe I should of done something?? make a donation to Cancer Research UK and start thinking YOU have done something!! 

Such a little amount of money can go a long way to fighting a massive cause heres some details: 

£61 could buy 500 petri dishes. Sterile dishes are used to grow cultures of cells for experiments.

£120 could buy around 40 thermometers (range -10°C to 110°C). These are indispensible for many experiments that need to be performed at very precise temperatures.

£300 could buy a water bath, a heatable tank of water which scientists use on a daily basis. Some reactions need to happen at particular temperatures. The thermostat on a bath can help maintain this from room temperature anywhere up to 95°C.

£550 could cover around a month’s running expenses for a clinical trial investigating a new way of giving hormone therapy to improve the treatment of prostate cancer.

£900 could pay for around one week’s supply of the drug pravastatin for the LungStar clinical trial. This trial aims to discover whether adding pravastatin to chemotherapy is beneficial for people with small cell lung cancer.

£2,600 could buy 10 sophisticated microarrays. These help scientists scrutinise thousands of genes in a single experiment. Microarrays are a powerful piece of gene technology which allow researchers to compare how active different genes are in cancer cells and healthy cells.  

£4,000 could buy a -80°C freezer for long-term storage of biological samples.
