A three day run over approximately 72 Miles from Canterbury to Kingston upon Thames in memory of my daughter Zoe Marie who passed away on 17th March 2009.
Description
On March 17th 2009 our very precious daughter Zoe Marie Stone sadly passed away after suffering a short illness with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.Zoe had fought with her health from a young age after a long battle against Scoliosis for which she finally underwent major Spinal surgery to have Titanium pins placed down her spine. Following this she worked extremely hard to catch up with her education and finally got the results she needed to see her get a place at Canterbury University in 2008.Zoe was Diagnosed with Leukemia on Wednesday 25th February 2009 and fell asleep on Tuesday 17th March, just 21 days later.During Easter weekend a group of approximately 5 of us will be raising money for The Teenage Cancer Trust by running a gruelling 72ish miles from Canterbury to Kingston Upon Thames. The route is yet to be finalised but is likely to take a route parallel to the A2 and through London. The run will take place over a four day period starting on Friday 2nd April and finishing on Monday 5th April 2010. We have been in training now for some time preparing ourselves for what I can only describe as a bloody long run. For those who want to get involved but do not feel they can run the full distance we will be setting up partial distances for them to complete to aid our cause. My 11 year old son Michael has committed to run the final 10Km to help raise money in memory of his sister, he to has been busy training completing a 5Km run every Saturday morning at Bushy Park.Please help us raise as much money as we can to help others to fight this evil desease with the support of the Teenage Cancer Trust. All donations no matter how big or small will be greatly appreciated.

Run For Zoe
21/03/10
The Route
Well time is closing in and the big run will go ahead over the Easter weekend. There have been one or two changes to the line up following injuries, a few minor tweaks to how the run will go ahead, but I can now confirm that the following will run the 72.9 miles from Canterbury to Chessington on Saturday 3rd, Sunday 4th and Monday 5th April:
Kevin Stone - Running the full Mileage
Paul Stone - Running the full mileage
Michael Straker, Daniel Brett and Ben Rendall will be running the whole distance as a relay team in support of me and Paul. We will all start and finish each day of the run together and then each of the above will run legs of approximately 3 to 4 miles.
My son Michael Stone will join us on the last day and run a distance of 10Km - 6.4 Miles and cross the finish line with us all.
Day one will take a route from Canterbury, along the A2 to Chatham passing through Harbledown, Dunkirk, Boughton Under Blean, Ospringe, Stone Chapel, Norton Ash, Bapchild, Sittingbourne, Newington, Rainham before finishing in Chatham 26.2 miles later.
The second and third are yet to be 100% confirmed, but it is expected to take a route on day 2 from Chatham to Rochester, Strood, Shorne, Chalk, Gravesend, Northfleet, Dartford, Crayford, Welling and finishing at Greenwich Observatory.
Day 3 will be a slightly shorter distance measuring a mere 20.5 miles which will take us from Greenwich Observatory, out through New Cross, Peckham, Camberwell, Lambeth, Clapham, Wandsworth, down Roehampton Vale, along the A3 to Tolworth and then onto Chessington.
Please please please show your support for Teenage Cancer Trust and sponsor us in our bid to run our target distance of 72.9 miles. The Teenage Cancer Trust is the only charity specifically dedicated to building and equipping Units for young people suffering from cancer, Hodgkin’s disease, leukaemia and related problems. Your support will be greatly appreciated.
