Virgin London Marathon - Human Interest 2010 Adam Piggot Grimsby 38091 Son Ryan, 4, is presently undergoing chemo for a brain tumour. Has had chemo for 6 months, a year to go. He had an adverse reaction to the first type of chemo and the alternative is much more severe. He now has to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days at a time after treatment so his body can be rehydrated. Clic Sargent Their daughter Lillia was diagnosed with cancer when she was 3 in March 2008. She had 9 months of treatment including major brain surgery (“the worst decision any parent should ever have to make”) Lillia survived and the nine moments included chemo Frankie and Angie Purcell TBC and radiotherapy. On Christmas Eve they were finally told that she was going to be ok. They also have another daughter – Summer – who is 2 and her life was also turned upside down by being split from her sibling. CLIC Sargent provided invaluable support to the couple throughout the difficult time and hence why they want to run the Virgin London Marathon for them. Clic Sargent Abby Fitzgerald TBC Son was diagnosed at 6 months old with Acute Mylelogenous Leukaemia (AML) 2 days before Christmas on 23rd December 2005. She would stay in the hospital every night and it was not until Easter Sunday 2006 that all the family were back home for the first time Clic Sargent
Virgin London Marathon - Human Interest 2010 Lisa Begley Chelsmford, Essex 37963 Her son, Ollie was diagnosed with Acute Mylelogenous Leukaemia (AML) in 2002 when he was 5 years old. He was diagnosed because he kept getting bruises in unusual places and then when he fell down off some monkey bars, his leg swelled up very severely and Lisa took him to the doctors who said it was worth having blood tests. These were diagnosed as Lymphoblastic Leukaemia which the doctors said was the ‘better’ cancer to get. Ollie was treated for this type of cancer for 2 weeks but with little or no response. He was therefore looked at again and diagnosed with AML M0 which is very rare with only 50 cases in the past 20 years. He had chemo for six months after which the cancer has not returned. Clic Sargent Nina Kislova Uxbridge, Middlesex 16566 Nina Kislova will be pounding the streets for CLIC Sargent in her first ever London marathon to give something back to the charity which supported her boyfriend during his battle with cancer. Alex was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in the summer of 2007 at the age of 19. Three months after Nina got together with Alex, he was diagnosed with cancer. Clic Sargent Adam lost his wife to cancer at a very young age. She has been diagnosed and kept going into remission only for it to strike Adam Birkenhead Salisbury 37841 again. The last time it came back she knew she wouldn’t be able to go through chemo again and they got married within 3 days of it being diagnosed. She died a few months later. Clic Sargent
