Hello fellow E60'ers,

Well, this time next week my legs might be a little tender (in no fit state for driving the 535 anyway ) and I need your sponsorship to help ease the pain.

The Flora London Marathon is next Sunday and this is the last push to help reach my fundraising target for Bowel Cancer UK.

As some of you are aware my father in law, Henry, died from Bowel Cancer in 2007 and this is my way of helping to prevent other families from having to go through what we all went through.

Please visit the link at the bottom of this post and sponsor me as much as you can afford. Anything will be much appreciated and will help Bowel Cancer UK in it's efforts in raising awareness of bowel cancer, improving the quality of life of those affected by the disease and, ultimately, reducing deaths from the second most common cause of cancer death in the UK.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It?s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Bowel Cancer UK gets your money faster and, if you?re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me so far and in advance for your support and if you're about next Sunday, why not pop along to London and cheer me on.

Thanks

Marc

Thank you so much guys. It's incredible that people I've never met and only know via these boards can be so generous. It blows my mind.

I'll keep you all posted on how I get on and maybe even post some pics of me falling over the finish line.

Thank you again to everyone who has sponsored me and those who have shown support.

Cheers

Marc
