On 18th April 2010 I will be running the Great Welsh Marathon in aid of Adam's Appeal.
Adam is the son of a good friend of mine. In July last year, at the age of 5, Adam was diagnosed with High Risk Neuroblastoma - a very rare and aggressive children's cancer that affects about 100 children in the UK each year.
The treatment of High-Risk Neuroblastoma is harsh and unrelenting but it needs to be to combat this aggressive cancer. It involves a combination of surgery, high-dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Treatment options for Adam in the UK have almost been exhausted but there is hope in the form of new treatments only available to him in America. The cost of this is quite staggering but if we can raise the funds then we could very well save Adam's life.
If you would like to make a donation the best method is via my Just Giving page:
It's by reaching as many people as possible not through big individual donations that we'll be able to do this. Every little bit really counts no matter how small and is very, very much appreciated.
For more information on Adam's Appeal see:

Many thanks in advance for your help and support.
PS. I believe that the just giving page will work with overseas credit cards. The amounts are in Pounds but you should be billed in your local currency after foreign exchange is applied through your card provider. Any problems just let me know.

hello malc,
i cant give you money for this, since it would be against my belief, but i gave some time and did something else.
malc ·
Hey no problem at all Michael, many thanks for taking the time.

Malc, since you were so instrumental in helping us deliver Shred, I am asking for those that want to donate to Shred, to instead, donate to this...Hope that helps...

Good news...I survived! 🙂 Despite a few ankle problems I managed to get round in 4hrs 2mins and 32secs (those last 32 secs were agony 🙂)
More importantly together we raised over £1280 for Adam's Appeal. Thank you so much to everyone who donated.
If anyone else still wants to contribute the page will be open for a couple of weeks.
Thanks again!
Malc.
