Our 2010, 1000km Charity Fund Raiser
James Montgomery (Managing Director of Realising Designs) will be clocking in some miles over 2010, raising funds for the Stella Rogers appeal. At just 17 months, Stella was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer known as Neuroblastoma MYC-N amplified (high risk). An expensive antibody therapy only available in the USA, costing a massive £250,000 upwards, could increase her chances of survival to 80%. The aim is to run 1000km over 2010, using a GPS mobile software to keep track of the runs, so please sponsor if you can via our Just Giving page: www.justgiving.com/James-Montgomery-1000k.
The mileage will include some great events such as the London Marathon (25th Apr), Canterbury 10 mile (31st Jan), Canterbury Half Marathon (23rd May), Hastings Half Marathon (21st Mar), Faversham 10k, Whistable 10k (9th May), Folkestone 10 (2nd Apr), a 60km Event (15th May), Wingham 10k (12th Sep), Thanet 20 (7th Mar) and the Loch Ness Marathon (Oct 3rd)!
