My Personal Message
Hi,
Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page. The Cork ARC Cancer Support House charity is a very worthy cause and I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this charity.
I am a Cancer Survivor. In May 2008, I had major surgery - an open radical prostatectomy - for Prostate cancer. 28 months on and I'm doing very well.
My prime aim in this Marathon is to inspire those dealing with Cancer in their own everyday lives, and also families, friends and carers who are also affected by Cancer. There is life after cancer! I'm targeting 3:18:00 in the marathon. This will be my 20th Marathon. It won't, by far, be my fastest, but it certainly will be, for me, the most significant race I have ever run.
I am running for two charities: The Irish Cancer Society (see separate fundraising page) and Cork ARC. I used the services of both when both facing and recovering from Cancer and found their help absolutely wonderful. Their services are vital for Cancer patients and their families. I now do whatever I can to assist these organisations. Please help them.
Please read a few words about ARC below. You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure. You will automatically receive an e-mail from me thanking you for your support, and acknowledging the amount of your donation. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated.
Many thanks in advance for your support,
John |
