As some of you know I am running the Flora London marathon on April 26th. I have been training for a year and feel more and more confident that I will actually make it alive and in one piece. So now I feel the need to somehow contribute back, and that is why I am running for Cancer Research UK. I really enjoy running, I don't even use an ipod during my hours of training, I just relax, watch my posture and breathing and enjoy it. OK, this might really sound like Forrest Gump, but still... Contributing to a charity will give the event even more meaning to me.
Also cancer research has a special meaning to me since my father and sister both recovered from the disease. But above all I have a very brave friend who is struggling with this illness right now. I hope that by contributing we might somehow advance research and find cures so that one day less people will have to go through this ordeal. Because let's face it; it could happen to anyone.
Please do not think this is UK only, as you know I am in Belgium myself. Cancer research is international and I am sure that whatever we contribute now, will come back to benefit us in the end, wherever we are.
So if you want to make a small donation, you can do so simply, fast and secure on the web (of course !) by visiting my Justgiving page. There are extra benefits for UK taxpayers. Just look for the widget in the sidebar, or click here:
