Alastair's London Marathon
2019 Virgin Money London Marathon
Sun 28 Apr 2019 - Sun 28 Apr 2019
I'm running the London Marathon for Cancer Research UK to raise vital funds to support the daily fight against cancer.
It's time to haul myself around the 26.2 miles of the London Marathon again. This time I am raising money for Cancer Research UK. More and more people are suffering cancer at some point in their lives but the good news is that more and more people are surviving it for longer. This will only continue, however, if we can keep on raising the much-needed funds to continue the research which will improve survival rates further. Everybody's lives have been touched by cancer in some way - whether it be a friend, a relative, or a work colleague. Both my father and father-in-law survived cancer and so this is a cause which is very close to my heart. It is up to all of us to do what we can to support the amazing people at Cancer Research UK who are dedicating their lives to finding a cure. Please make a donation to my page today if you can. No amount is too little and every single penny raised will go directly to this wonderful cause. Thank you.
CAUSE

Cancer survival rates have doubled over the past 40 years. Consistent progress is being made but improvements to technology and ground-breaking work offer new opportunities to find different ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer and improve survival rates even further.
