Brian's London Marathon
Hi, thanks for visiting my page.
I DID IT, I ran my first London Marathon and it was an amazing day. I completed it in 4 hours 10 minutes 56 seconds and loved it all, the crowd made it seem like i was only running for half that time.
Have a loo at my pictures below right.
I am raising money to grant the wish of 12 year old Joshua (below, left) who suffers from Osteosarcoma, a disease in which cancer cells are found in the bone. Joshua has been through so much, and it would be great for him to have something to look forward to. His dream, above all things, is to be able to swim with dolphins in Florida. Joshua was first diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in his leg 2 years ago. Since then he has been in and out of hospital, undergoing chemotherapy treatment and major surgery to his leg, including having a prosthesis fitted. Joshua’s mum said: “Joshua has been a real hero, hardlyever complaining even though the side effects of thetreatment have been horrible and the pain at times unbearable.” It would mean so much to both Joshua and his family to have his wish of swimming withdolphins in Florida granted. It will be a holiday that all the family can enjoy together andtreasure the memories of for years to come. By sponsoring Brian in this year’s London Marathon you will help to bring Joshua that much closer to his dream. Joshua’s wish will bring happiness, laughter and hope for the future, as well a release from having to be so strong and accepting of his illness and treatment. It will also bring together a family under enormous emotional stress, allowing them to share in a positive and wonderful experience … no matter what the future may hold.
Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
