Walter Todd - raising £ for prostate cancer

Having recently lost my father (Walter Todd) to prostate cancer I felt it was time to ‘do my bit’ and raise money to help fund research into this particular disease and hopefully prevent other families suffering this sad loss.

The charity selected is a Glasgow based research team dedicated to discovering new drugs to treat prostate cancer – all money raised will go directly to this project.

To raise money we have assembled an ‘elite team of non runners’ and will be competing in the Edinburgh relay marathon on the 22nd May 2011.

The team of 4 (now 5 with the late addition of Terry Stout - see below for more info) are: George 'Ducati' Ducat, Alleeeee Taylor, Kirsten Stanger and Linda Todd. The team are a real mixed bag, previous running experience varies greatly and includes:

1) Nil, why run when you can drive? (unless your battery is flat!) - Kirsten

2) Running to get to the bar - Allie

3) T... more

To Linda, Terry, Kirsten, Allie and George of Team Toddlers,

I wanted to say a personal thank you for your incredible fundraising efforts in support of our research into prostate cancer. Sadly around 10,000 people die from the disease each year so it is crucial that we find new ways to tackle the disease, and our research is only made possible thanks to exceptional fundraisers like yourselves.

Each member of the team has done an incredible job in raising over £8000 so far, and I understand that particular thanks must go to Linda for organising this merry band of runners and for her constant encouragement and motivation. Your help and support is a source of inspiration for me and my team in our efforts to develop new drugs for prostate cancer patients, so thank you.

Best wishes

Professor Simon Mackay

This thank you is to everyone who worked hard raising money-duck races, swap shops etc. and although the runners are named we maybe had the easy bit - the fund raising was prob harder. El Tel | Saturday 18th Jun 2011, 12:59
