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

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