BLACKWATER
FORGET ME NOT MARATHON WALK
Saturday 20 September 2008
AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY
Join Sandra Reeve and Alison Still supported by Leukaemia Research for the first Forget Me Not Marathon Walk around the beautiful Blackwater estuary. Open to everyone over 12 years of age, the walk is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of many adults, teenagers and children across the UK.
Alison was inspired to do her own fundraising completing a marathon last year and she had the idea for this walk during that journey. She and Sandra are delighted to team up with Leukaemia Research and adopt their wonderful Forget Me Not theme.
When I was walking to Germany for Tim in 2006, I received many kind wishes along the way. One that stands out came from Julian who said ‘every step you take is a step forward for someone’s future’ – words I remembered during the hard miles.
Join us in this walk. Your sponsorship will help to save lives.

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
Blood cancers can affect anyone at any age and represent the most common form of cancer in people under 30. Tremendous advances in the treatment of childhood leukaemia have not been possible so far with older teenage and young adult sufferers. Tim’s Trust is working closely with the Leukaemia Research Fund to raise money to support research to improve the treatment, care and survival of these young people.
All we ask you to do is pay a small entry fee and raise as much money as possible.
