And, most importantly, you will be helping Marie Curie Cancer Care to provide high quality nursing, totally free, to give people with cancer and other illnesses the choice of dying at home, supported by their families.

To our London Marathon 2008 Runners...

A huge thank you to all our Daffodil Runners who ran on Sunday April 13, 2008.

It was a fantastic day, and it was great to see so many of you at our post-reception, and to cheer you on as you pounded through the streets of London. Congratulations on your marathon achievement.

You may have been spotted by one of our volunteer photographers along the course. If you visit the websites of Alison Whitlock or Barney Jones you will be able to see if you were snapped by Alison in Wapping or by Barney at the finish line. (To view the photos on Alison's website, please click on 'Order Photos', then 'Events' and select London Marathon 2008.) If you wish to have a souvenir from your marathon experience, you can also purchase photographs from their websites, with £1 from each photograph being donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care.
