Son Ryan, 4, is presently undergoing chemo for a brain tumour.<br />
Has had chemo for 6 months, a year to go. He had an adverse<br />
reaction to the first type of chemo and the alternative is much<br />
more severe. He now has to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days at a<br />
time after treatment so his body can be rehydrated.<br />

Their daughter Lillia was diagnosed with cancer when she was 3<br />
in March 2008. She had 9 months of treatment including major<br />
brain surgery (“the worst decision any parent should ever have<br />
to make”) Lillia survived and the nine moments included chemo<br />
Frankie and<br />
Angie Purcell TBC and radiotherapy. On Christmas Eve they were finally told that<br />
she was going to be ok. They also have another daughter –<br />
Summer – who is 2 and her life was also turned upside down by<br />
being split from her sibling. CLIC Sargent provided invaluable<br />
support to the couple throughout the difficult time and hence<br />
why they want to run the <strong>Virgin</strong> <strong>London</strong> <strong>Marathon</strong> for them.<br />
