Geeklawyer’s co-blogger Ruthie is running the London Marathon on April the 23rd. Anyone who can manage this has his unqualified respect but in Ruthie’s case there is an additional and more poignant reason: her mother is dying of stomach cancer. Ruthie is therefore running to raise money for the Macmillan cancer relief charity who do terrific work and deserve support.
Geeklawyer asks you to sponsor her, even if only for a very small sum.
Ruthie…has been utterly blown away of late by the kindness of strangers. Amazing. All who have helped me, thank you.
My mum..lived her whole life for other people. Despite working full time, she helped run the local youth club and was an officer in the Girls Brigade. She never smoked, hardly drank and ate healthily. I’d like to rail at the unfairness of life, but hardly. Cancer seems to strike quite randomly, young people, old people, young mothers..I can hardly say its more unfair in her case. Macmillan have been brilliant, so in doing the run, I’m doing what I can to try and give something back.
Very sadly my mum recently died, but her fight against her illness was an inspiration to many people. Thanks again to everyone who has sponsored me.
Best of luck Sunday. Will be watching out for you on the TV coverage.
