Story

All,

 

I’m running the Virgin London Marathon again this year for WhizzKidz, targeting <3hr30m (vs 3hr49m, last year’s time).

I have pledged £1600 to WhizzKidz again, but will be running in memory of my good friend Ben Prior who died just before Xmas, aged 34, after a 4 year fight with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

It was too late to switch charities, but I have asked WhizzKidz to donate anything I raise over and above my pledge to the Anthony Nolan Trust (a charity for blood cancer, for which his little sister is running).

So please dig deep. Both charities are proper ones, but it is Ben’s charity in particular which will be motivating me for the 26.2 miles (don’t forget the .2!)

 

Give generously,

thank you,

Nick .
