Jordan10

1.  Run 10 marathons in 6 days across the mountains, wadi and deserts of Jordan

2.  Raise £100,000 for triple negative breast cancer research

3.  Potentially save someone's life

WE WILL:

Jordan10

•  Unprecedented (route and distance) •  262 miles (10 marathons) in 6 days •  Run day or night. The distance has to

be covered. •  Running through mountain ranges,

wadi, desert, along dusty roads, through villages…

•  4x4 support for food, water, tents and medical support.

The Challenge

How and why it is worth getting involved...

Jordan10

1.  1.5m women are diagnosed worldwide with breast cancer every year

2.  Triple negative breast cancer is the most aggressive form, hard to prevent, diagnose and treat

3.  15% of women with breast cancer have triple negative breast cancer 4.  Research is needed to discover the molecules which drive the cancer’s growth

5.  This research will make prevention and treatment more effective and save lives

Triple Nega+ve Breast Cancer

Jordan10

 Only research unit of its type in the UK

 Fellowship in Guy’s Hospital and Kings College London (University).  Fellowship will give an outstanding and committed medical doctor the chance to carry out scientific research.  Assessing the activity of the BRCA1 gene (state of the art imaging techniques)  Discovering potential new drug targets

 £100,000 will cover research costs for one year for a medical doctor.  Specialised laboratory will be required.

Peter Greene, Founder of Sarah Green Crocus Fund:

‘Triple negative breast cancer is more difficult to treat because tumours do not respond to targeted treatments (such as Herceptin or Tamoxifen). These scientists will be trying to find out more about it, in particular which genetic changes in the tumour cause or drive its growth. Despite there being 6,000 new cases a year in this country, very little is known about it. They want to learn more about the biology of the disease, including if there is a 'cancer stem cell' that causes it. With this knowledge, scientists will be trying to find new ways to diagnose, treat and ultimately prevent this form of breast cancer.’

‘The lab is amazing and most of the equipment is state of the art. The staff are highly respected and were happy to try and explain to us lay folk how it all works. The one thing that is very obvious is that they are a very dedicated and enthusiastic team. The lab is not far away from the out patients department and it is also a very short distance from where tumour tissue is removed and then taken for analysis - about 20 yards! The visit was inspirational and we should all feel proud of what we have contributed to.’

How to get involved in the Jordan 10 Team

1.  Become a major sponsor (£ 15,000) 2.  Become a named sponsor (£ 5,000) 3.  Give whatever you would like and receive a HUGE thank you from The Sarah Green

Crocus Fund and all future breast cancer sufferers.

4.  Introduce us to people, companies and parties that might like to get involved

Jordan10

  100% (not 98% or 99%) but 100% of monies raised will go straight into funding a researcher at Guy’s Hospital, London.

  0% (not even 0.001%) of monies raised will go towards expedition costs. The Jordan 10 Team are paying for these themselves.
