Story

Phil – A veteran racer, watch out for this one he’s going to be fast! Time to beat from 2014 - 39:26
Chris – Has recently completed his first Half Marathon, the Warwick Half in 2:15:11, so is in prime form for the TwoCastles! Time to beat from 2014 - 53:51
Charlotte – Persuaded to run by Chris! New to the TwoCastles but excited for the big day!
Jenny – A definite fair weather runner, has not run since the evenings became dark and cold!

We are involved in a team of 120 runners (that's right 120!) taking part in the Two Castles 10k in June 2015 to raise funds & awareness for cancer research at the University of Warwick.

Sadly, 1 in 3 people will develop cancer during their lifetime - this vital research is looking at ways to improve detection of early stage cancers, treatment and patient care.

As a team we are aiming to raise £10,000 this year - so anything you can give towards this target will help.

You can see our team progress at https://www.justgiving.com/teams/teamwarwickuni.  

Research at Warwick focuses on:

Improving detection - high quality screenings and less invasive tests
Treatment - the development of new drugs to help the body attack and shut down cancerous cells
Patient care - helping with issues like tiredness, sickness, weight and hair loss

Please help us to reach our £10,000 team goal, which will fund all of the following:
- 100 tests on samples
- 50 racks for gel electrophoresis, which helps measure DNA in cancer cells
- 12 simple chemotherapy pumps, to enable patients to receive their treatment at home
- 5 days of translational research
- 5 days of testing new medicines in clinical trials

You can find out more at: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/giving/priority/medicine/cancer/

Wish us all luck for this great cause!
