SIR – Have your readers been inspired by the thousands who pounded the pavements last weekend?
Come and join me on the start line running the Virgin Money London Marathon in aid of blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan, the race’s Official Charity partner next year.
We’re looking for enthusiastic individuals to enter the ballot today for a chance to take part in the experience of a lifetime.
Anthony Nolan runs the UK’s bone marrow register and saves the lives of people with blood cancers like leukaemia and lymphoma every day. Last year, the charity matched more than 1,000 people with bone marrow donors.
I’m urging anyone thinking about running the marathon – either as a first-timer or a running vet – to enter the ballot and select the Anthony Nolan as your charity.
Visit virginlondonmarathon.com to enter the online ballot, or milebymile.org to apply for one of Anthony Nolan’s guaranteed places.
By running as part of Team Anthony Nolan, you can help cure blood cancer mile by mile. 2014 is going to be a memorable one for the charity as it celebrates its 40th anniversary.
