Running the London Marathon to beat cancer London, UK
We recently offered our support to Nick Strong of Stairway Joinery Southern Ltd as he prepares to run the Virgin London Marathon on behalf of Children with Cancer UK.
Nick has been affected by the suffering of his school-friend's child, and we were only too glad to support Nick and this worthy cause, helping to raise funds to research into determining the causes of cancer, finding cures and providing care for children living with cancer.
We wish him the best of luck in his marathon expedition! To donate, visit Nick's Just Giving page here.

"Jensen is the son of an old school friend of mine and for 2 1/2 years, 5 year old Jensen has been fighting cancer. During this time, he has been through some of the most gruelling treatments to try and rid this little superstar of this awful disease; all this time he has shown nothing but sheer determination and a smile on his face. Jensen is truly an inspiration.
For a period of time, Jensen was cancer free and enjoying life but recently, his cancer has come back and the doctors have advised there is nothing more that can be done for him - all future care will be aimed at giving him more time, not at curing him."
With less than 5 weeks to the marathon and having only been offered a place two weeks ago, my training has been non-existent to date. However, this isn't about hitting personal targets, I am participating in the London Marathon to honour the bravery, determination and sheer strength that Jensen and his family have shown during the past 2 1/2 years and to help raise funds to research into determining the causes of cancer, finding cures and providing care for children living with cancer."
I am so appreciative of your support!"
Nick Strong, Stairway Joinery
