On 21st April, Lauren and I (dressed as Little Miss Sunshine) are going to be running the London Marathon once again in our first fundraising challenge of the year for CHILDREN with CANCER UK.

CHILDREN with CANCER UK are one of the leading charities in the fight against childhood cancer and it is as a direct result of their work that I am still here today. 

I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia at the age of 18 and had to undergo a bone marrow transplant to survive. Twenty five years ago that would have been a virtual death sentence but dramatic advances in the treatment of leukaemia since then meant I was able to make a complete recovery.

None of that would have been possible without the funding provided by CHILDREN with CANCER UK and I owe my life to them.

Despite the amazing progress that has been made, childhood cancer is on the increase and still accounts for thousands of lives every year.

As a result, Lauren and I are committed to raising as much money as we can for the charity to help them continue the fight against childhood cancer.

To date, we have raised £100,000 for the charity through a number of fundraising ventures but are still some way short of my personal target of £250,000.

So, we, like CHILDREN with CANCER UK, have got some way to go but we will get their with your continued support.

Help us put a smile back on the faces of children with cancer by sponsoring us today.

Thanks.

Andy and Lauren
