THE Anthony Nolan Trust is looking for readers who want to run in their team in the 2003 Flora London Marathon.

The trust wants runners (those with an entry as well as those still needing a place) to contact them.

The marathon takes place on April 13. Last year our marathon team raised £260,000 which helped fund their fight against leukaemia. Only with your help, will the trust be able to beat this figure in 2003.

Runners will be given expert training and fundraising advice plus a special running vest.

We operate a register of over 300,000 volunteers willing to donate some of their blood stem cells to save the life of a patient with leukaemia or related disease. For these patients the only chance of life is a stem cell transplant (previously known as a bone marrow transplant).

Every £50 raised will add a new volunteer to the national register. Every volunteer is a potential life-saver. If you want to run or further information on the trust call 01865 875757 or e-mail: running@anthonynolan.org.uk
