Steve's wife, Carolyn, is a Lead Chemotherapy nurse a the Kent Oncology Centre at Maidstone Hospital. She is raising money for an ultrasound scan (PICC) machine for the unit which will help patients undergoing treatment for cancer.

Steve has been running since he was 16, but admits he is a "bit of a plodder" but he's happy with his training so far, and is hoping his first ever marathon, the Kent Coastal marathon, will help towards the target of £11,000 needed for the machine.

His son, Daniel, is also running a one-and-a-half mile fun run on the same day.

Since Steve made this film he and his wife raised approximately £800 towards the PICC machine. Although a great amount it wasn't enough to purchase the machine, but undeterred, Carolyn approached the League of Friends who agreed to fund the shortfall.

The nurses at the Oncology Unit are undergoing training and they hope to be using the machine in clinical practice very soon.
