Message from Ben Ellinger:

Most of us have been affected by cancer in some way or another and this year I would like to raise money for 3 different UK based charities that support cancer sufferers in quite different ways (through group support, raising awareness, research and treatment).

I will run 3 marathons before the end of the first quarter of 2012 and would very much appreciate your sponsorship to reach my target of GBP 6,000 - all the money raised will be divided evenly between the 3 charities after the third marathon.

Donations can be made at the website below:

I plan to complete the following marathons:

Gold Coast Marathon – 3rd July 2011 – completed (3h39m)
Sydney Marathon – 19th September 2011 – tbc*
Melbourne Marathon – 10th October 2011 – tbc*

Money raised will be divided equally between:

1.      Harry Edwards Healing Sanctuary / Bluebells Cancer Support Centre – www.sanctuary-burrowslea.org.uk – RCN 1098712

2.      Walk the Walk Worldwide – www.walkthewalk.org – RCN SO029572

3.      Macmillan Cancer Support – www.macmillan.org.uk – RCN 261017

Thank you in advance for your support, Ben - July, 2011
