43

Every 43 steps (roughly) you take on the day of the GNR will bring £1 to a young cancer patient facing limited time. Finish the race and you will have fully financed a Cash Gift for a young person to make the most of the time they have. You would be the reason that a little boy could go on one last holiday with his family or a little girl could have the birthday party she always dreamed about. Not too bad at all.
