A further London Marathon Runner for MDS UK – Superb!!!

Kevin Dwyer marathonBrave Kevin Dwyer has won a place in the Virgin London Marathon as well – and decided to go for it.
We are so grateful for his dedication and determination – and his generous support for MDS UK.

This is not his first marathon though. Kevin has ran 100 marathons since 1983 – quite an achievement!
Many thanks Kevin for running this one for MDS UK!

Here is what he says on his fundraising page

http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/KevinDwyer693

“I was pleased to get a place in the 2015 London Marathon as it gives me the opportunity to raise funds for one of the smaller charities, the MDS UK Patient Support Group.

The charity provides support for patients and families affected by the blood disorder Myelo-Dysplastic Syndrome ( MDS) which is a type of Bone Marrow Failure.

Raising funds for this worthwhile cause will give me the motivation to train as hard as I am able over the coming months and make that journey from Blackheath to The Mall.

Thank you in advance for your donation.

Kevin”
