The cancer charity Sail 4 Cancer have been offered a ‘Silver Bond’ place in the 2009 Flora London Marathon, meaning that they have a guaranteed place in this prestigious event. With over 90,000 people applying each year for only around 50,000 places, entries are in high demand.

If you are a marathon runner (or would like to become one) – and have some great fundraising ideas, visit the Sail 4 Cancer website and download an application form, or call 0845 408 1849.

Applications need to be received by 1st December. The successful applicant will be informed by 19th December, giving them the Christmas break to polish up their fundraising plans ready to put them into action in the New Year.

The successful applicant will be raising money to help improve the quality of life for those living with cancer. They will be supported by Sail 4 Cancer in their fundraising efforts, including having their own fundraising webpage on the Sail 4 Cancer website.
