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

Alex Barton, 20<br />

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