CLIC Sargent helps children and young people with cancer and their families with the trauma of diagnosis, the often long journey through treatment and continues to support them afterwards. Every day 10 families are told that their child has cancer. Diagnosis often comes as a shock. Treatment usually starts straightaway and can last up to three years. CLIC Sargent is there with clinical, practical and emotional support, every step of the way.

JENNI FALCONER - LONDON MARATHON 2010
Hi there -
Well another marathon has been and gone but never will be forgotten!!
This year, I trained my socks off and it all seemed to pay off in the end. I had a target time of 3.30 and genuinely had no idea if this would be realistic. However I worked hard in the build up to try and make it happen. I ran 5x each week and trained with Karen Weir at Matt Roberts gym twice each week. The latter was designed to build up my muscle and strength to assist my stamina on the day....
Well, it worked! The hard work paid off. I sadly missed my target by 62 seconds, but to complete the 2010 London marathon in 3.31.02 is an achievement of which I am incredibly proud.
Thank you to everyone for visiting my page and for sponsoring me - your contribution is not only very generous but also kept me focused during the 26.2 miles. Two amazing charities will benefit from your kindness.
Well, that's it for this year - now, can I be persuaded to sign up again in 2011? Hell, yeah!
Love Jenni x
