<strong>Virgin</strong> <strong>London</strong> <strong>Marathon</strong> - <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Interest</strong> <strong>2010</strong><br />

Adam<br />

Grimsby 38091<br />

Son Ryan, 4, is presently undergoing chemo for a brain tumour.<br />

Has had chemo for 6 months, a year to go. He had an adverse<br />

reaction to the first type of chemo and the alternative is much<br />

more severe. He now has to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days at a<br />

time after treatment so his body can be rehydrated.<br />

Their daughter Lillia was diagnosed with cancer when she was 3<br />

in March 2008. She had 9 months of treatment including major<br />

brain surgery (“the worst decision any parent should ever have<br />

to make”) Lillia survived and the nine moments included chemo<br />

Frankie and<br />

Angie Purcell TBC and radiotherapy. On Christmas Eve they were finally told that<br />

she was going to be ok. They also have another daughter –<br />

Summer – who is 2 and her life was also turned upside down by<br />

being split from her sibling. CLIC Sargent provided invaluable<br />

support to the couple throughout the difficult time and hence<br />

why they want to run the <strong>Virgin</strong> <strong>London</strong> <strong>Marathon</strong> for them.<br />

the first time<br />
