On Sunday 28th April, a series of online bingo sites will be hosting the unique Run-Athon special in aid Against Breast Cancer; the charity that is researching a future free from breast cancer. Between the hours of 7pm and 9pm, a special fundraising event will take place to support the runners of the Virgin Money London Marathon 2019, who are raising vital funds for this very worthy cause.
Every game (in the Royal Room) will have the following prizes up for grabs:
The Royal Room is a traditional bingo room which is open for Chit Chat, Bid Bingo, Bingo Zino, Bingo Ireland, UK-Bingo, Pink Ribbon Bingo, Bingo52 and LoveHearts Bingo players – which means a heck of lot of players who could potentially raise eye-watering sums of money for the charity.
The Runners:
Bob Gearing: "My mother had breast cancer in 1977 I was 13 years old. She had a Mastectomy and treatment of radiotherapy following the operation. I don't think at the time I realised the possible implications, my mother after all was there as the linchpin of our family. Thankfully 41 years later she is still with us continuing to be an inspiration to our family. I'm raising money on behalf of Against Breast Cancer in recognition of my Mum and what she went through and the courage and determination she has shown."
Natasha and Rob Dedman: "We will be taking on the 26.2miles around London on April 28th, 2019. This will be Tash's 3rd London Marathon and Robs biggest challenge to date as it will be his first marathon, we are super excited to be running it together. We are honoured to be running for Against Breast Cancer. It’s a charity close to our hearts as Tash's brave mum has battled breast cancer twice Please help us reach my goal of £3000, all donations are highly appreciated."
Stacey Clemes: "I am honoured to be taking on the challenge of completing the London Marathon in 2019 in order to raise funds for Against Breast Cancer. As breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women, I wish to raise funds to support further research into the treatment and prevention of the disease. Family members and good friends of mine have been affected by breast cancer and I am taking on this challenge for them."
Nicholas Drew: "I was inspired to run for Against Breast Cancer as I was personally affected when my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was young. Despite having fought for many years so bravely, the cancer reoccurred as a secondary spread and I lost her when I was 22. I found running brought me some solace in coming to terms with that loss, and I decided that I wanted to run the London Marathon in her memory and to help others. Then last Christmas, my family was hit by the news that my sister had been diagnosed with cancer at the age of 33. Luckily her surgery has been successful, and she is recovering well. The way both my mum and sister fought cancer with such strength and courage has been inspirational to me, and certainly something I will draw on when finding the strength to drag myself along Pall Mall to the finish! The fact is that too many people are continuing to be affected by cancer, something we CAN beat through scientific advancements. Against Breast Cancer fund unique research at Oxford University into prevention, earlier detection and developing new treatments. Their ultimate mission is to develop a vaccine - a goal I am certainly willing to run a marathon to support. They have made great strides with research in recent years, but with around 11,500 deaths each year in the UK alone from breast cancer, there is still some way to go. Thank you for all your support - I really appreciate it. All donations up to £500 will be matched by Warner Bros., so whatever you're able to give will go twice as far!"
