Julie decided to run London marathon for Bliss after having her son Marc at
24 weeks. She has given herself the extra challenge of attempting to raise
£24,000 to represent the number of weeks her son Marc was born at. Julie
and her husband, who is also called Marc, experienced three miscarriages
before being advised to have IVF. To their surprise they ended up getting
pregnant with twins. Sadly Jack died shortly after birth, but Marc who is now
eight years old, and although slightly small for his age, is doing extremely
well.

Graham Coles,
44
Swanley, Kent
Graham’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. She went
through treatment over the following months and at a party for New Year
the family celebrated the fact that her blood tests had been given the all
clear. It was a celebration like no other year. Then, in March 2006 following
severe migraines, it emerged that the cancer had spread to her brain, she
sadly died five days later. Graham, who is approaching his 26th year in the Breast
London Fire Service, said: “The hollow sense of being which hits you at that Cancer
moment never quite leaves you. That is why Breast Cancer Campaign Campaign
means so much to me. I couldn’t be more honoured to run for a charity so
close to my heart, finding out I had a place was a highly emotional
moment.”
