Jordi Pitarch-Marquino (SP-D595), a Catalan resident in Scotland and student at the University of Edinburgh, is running the MDS 2008 on behalf of AICR to raise funds to finance new cancer treatments.

Jordi has first-hand experience of what it means to have a close relative living with and fighting cancer until reaching the point at which science and hope are completely exhausted. By racing the MDS 2008 Jordi wants to keep alive the memory of his sister Patricia who died of lung cancer but also help to raise important funds for AICR with which to finance new cancer treatments and hopefully save many lives around the world."

Jordi's fundraising website is: http://www.justgiving.com/jordipm

" The Association for International Cancer Research (AICR) is an independent
charity whose aim is to support fundamental research by eminent and
promising scientists throughout the world, into the causes and prevention of
cancer. In the past 27 years, we have supported a large variety of projects
in all corners of the world. We currently have more than 220 projects
underway. AICR endeavours to fund research in areas that are relatively
underfunded or unexplored compared with those funded by other major cancer research organisations."
