The best GUCR news ever.

Steve Phillips, who collapsed during GUCR 2009 and was diagnosed to have four tumours that could have caused his sudden death had they remained undetected, is now well enough to be running again. Despite prolonged intensive therapy and suffering many setbacks, including a major stroke, Steve will be running the Manchester Marathon at the end of April as a prelude to an incredible Coast to Coast attempt in June.

Steve has said that he owes his life to GUCR (Each year I start the race secure in the knowledge that if a runner were to get “permanently lost” it would just level the score, as we are currently 1-0 up!) and annually donates the “Run for Your Life” trophy which is awarded to the first “first-timer” to finish. I am extremely grateful for his support and encourage anyone reading this to offer him some, by visiting http://www.c2crun.co.uk to make a donation or simply text CTOC66 to 70070 with the amount you wish to donate.
