Local student to run in a
marathon in Athens for charity
Report by Madeleine Saghir
A University student from from Formby,
who is currently at King’s College London, is seeking to raise £1,200 for a
charity before the end of August. So far, Aaron Chan has raised £300 for World
Wide Cancer Research and will take part in a marathon in Athens as part of his
bid to raise the money.
In total 25 students from the University will be taking part and thousands are
expected to attend the event, in Athens, which will take place this year on the
8 November 2015.
The charity has managed to research in 21 countries around the world. It is
believed by them that the cure will be found in various labs around the world
because different types of research are crucial in finding the cure to cancer.
Aaron who currently studies pharmacology is looking to pursue a career in
medicine and believes a cure to end cancer can be found.
The charity receives no government funding and therefore donations are vital. In
attempt to raise the money Aaron has taken to doing bucket collections in London
and will now continue to do this in Liverpool as well as organising cake sales
and bag packing in supermarkets.
The 26 mile run will go around the whole of
Athens and go past iconic sights such as the Parthenon before finishing at the
Olympic Stadium.
