Erik De Wit, 32 Blackheath First time Virgin London Marathon runner, Erik De Wit, 32, from Blackheath said: “I run a paddlel tennis sports club in Canary Wharf. It’s similar to tennis and one of the few sports that is perfect for both younger and older people, so I was really inspired by the idea of projects that would help combat loneliness and isolation across generations. “I’ve run a couple of half Marathons and a 30K and could already identify a big difference in those distances so I think the Virgin London Marathon might take quite a bit more preparation! From Christmas onwards a percentage of every court seat we sell will go towards our fundraising target, so we would encourage everyone to come and check out this brilliant sport and support Age UK and YouthNet.” Age UK & YouthNet Jack Whardale, 18 Hellesdon, Norfolk First time Virgin London Marathon runner, Jack Whardale, 18, from Hellesdon, said: “I'm joining ‘Team Run for It’ because I think it’s so important that we don’t lose touch with those who have more life experience than the rest of us. I believe that this project will be beneficial for both the youth and older people and I’d love to think that I could contribute to bridging the gap between older people and technology. I’m passionate about this project and want to raise as much money as I can. I also recognise the importance of young people getting involved, both as volunteers and through joining ‘Team Run for It”.

Freddie Fitzgibbon, 20 Richmond (home), Leeds Uni Freddie has recently turned 20 and his Mother (Susan) is in her 50’s. Susan and her husband Gerald run a successful lettings company in South West London and have another son who is still at school. 7 years ago, Susan was diagnosed with Chordoma. This is a rare form of cancer that is hard to diagnose as it is often confused with common back or neck pain. There is no cure or effective treatment for chordoma and patients are expected to live for about 10 years after their first diagnosis. Susan has had numerous surgeries and has continued to work throughout this period and is involved with the Richmond Chamber of Commerce as well as being involved within their industry. Susan and Gerald discovered that there was very little research taking place for Chordoma but were lucky in that they were introduced to Professor Adrienne Flanagan, a leading researcher who has made a very significant discovery into how to diagnose chordoma (and Adrienne's thus separate it out from other cancers that occur near the spine). Adrienne Research has even been around to have samples of Susan's cancer taken to use in her research. Susan and Gerald decided that they wanted to raise funds for research as without funding there is no hope for a cure or treatment of this cancer and so they have set up a fund within my charity to raise money exclusively for chordoma research. The admin costs were covered by another donor so every penny raised is going to Adrienne's research. Freddie is their eldest son, and a student at Leeds. He wanted to do “something” to help raise money for the research and so volunteered to run his first Marathon. 5
