Michelle signed up to run the London Marathon in aid of a children’s cancer
charity, unaware that her own daughter was about to be diagnosed with a
tumour. Michelle was accepted to run the marathon on behalf of CLIC
Sargent in January just a week later it was revealed that her 17-year-old
daughter, Sasha, had cancer of the liver. Despite the trauma the family are
going through, it was decided Michelle should still go ahead with the
marathon. “We felt after a while it would still be a good thing to do,
considering the circumstances. Sasha’s courage through this has given
me the determination to do it. It gives the family as a whole a different goal.
It is giving us the determination to raise as much as we can for CLIC
Sargent.”

Alex Barton was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in, July
2010 and will be running the VLM for CLIC Sargent. The charity provided
him and his family with financial and emotional from the point of diagnosis
and throughout treatment. “ It didn't hit me for ages that I had cancer as I
thought I would just have chemo a few times then the doctors would say
that I was clear. I think it hit my mum and dad the worst as they felt helpless
and couldn't do anything really to make me better. I just had one goal in my
head that I would play rugby again and I did that in less than a year of
being diagnosed .”
