Chris's Story:

3 years ago on 18th February my beautiful wife Natalie died suddenly of leukaemia, leaving me to raise our three young daughters without their mum. I am running the London marathon this year after watching Keiron last year and want to raise as much money as possible for Bloodwise to help fight this devastating disease. 

Keiron's Story:

When I crossed the line of the 2016 Virgin London Marathon I was filled with a massive sense of pride, emotion and achievement I did however think I'm not doing that again! 

Chris and the girls along with Katy (my wife) and our Children were in London to cheer me on and  it was one of the greatest days of my life but I did however think I'm not doing that again! 

The support along the whole route is amazing and  I really did feel like a top class sportsman for the first time in my life, being cheered on by a capacity crowd shouting my name at every turn I did however think I'm not doing that again! 

The reception put on by Bloodwise at Westminster Hall after the race was fantastic and about an hour and half after I'd crossed the line Chris announced that he fancied doing it next year I though yeh right Chris I'm safe here I won't be doing it again however I'm doing it again and this time it's a two pronged attack! 

The training is well under way and unbelievably we are both on track and looking forward to it. We are once again raising money for Bloodwise who's work trying bring an end to all types of blood cancer goes on day after day. 

The hope is to get the amount raised in Natalie's memory through the £10,000 mark for Bloodwise which has all be made possible through the generosity of you our family,  friends and work colleagues.

We have a golf day planned again for May so if anyone fancies getting involved just let us know. 

So please give what you can for a great cause to beat blood cancer a disease that can affect any person of any age at any time.
