2018 Virgin Sport Oxford Half Marathon
Sun 7 Oct 2018 - Sun 7 Oct 2018
I'm raising money because I want next generations to live in a world where cancer is a curable disease.
Did you know that cancer survival in the UK has doubled in the last 40 years? That's absolutely great news, showing how much talent, commitment and efforts are being poured into such a critical area for research. Unfortunately though, we are still very off the 100% survival mark. On 8th October I will be running the Oxford Half Marathon and attempting to cross the finishing line in less than 1h50mins. Besides the personal challenge, I thought this was a great opportunity to raise money and awareness for cancer research. If you have a few bucks to spare, please help me to hit my target, and together we can make a tangible contribution to a great cause. As if this wasn't enough to convince you, I pledge to run the race in a black tie outfit if we make it to £600! Let's bring forward the day when all cancers are cured! Thanks, Niccolò
