I own two startups, I'm a self confessed geek and I've never run further than 10k in my life before.<p>9 months ago all that changed.<p>9 months ago I found out that a boy aged 11 had just weeks to live because he had terminal brain cancer.<p>So 9 months ago, I decided to run - run quite far, without any training, no equipment and a pretty pathetic excuse for a body.<p>I ran the entire London Underground, 450 miles, 273 stops, 40 runs, 30 half marathons, and after fracturing my feet twice I've just finished.<p>Why am I telling you this?<p>Because more people need to know about brain cancer. More work needs doing to understand it. More money is needed to help find a cure.<p>I wrote a blog, made a video, opened up a charity JustGiving page, used Google Maps to navigate the underground, used a GPS app so my dad could stay in touch with me. The Internet allowed me to complete this run and raise the sum that I did. I don't know if any of the startups you own have a pot for charity but if they do - I'm asking for this one to be considered.<p>Please watch the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_mb6pXyrfA&feature=player_embedded) - or read the blog www.harrystuberunners.blogspot.com<p>Thanks<p>Steve
