Joseph's Journey - Dad's Marathon Your Soundtrack
On April 22nd 2012 I'm taking part in the Virgin London Marathon. This will mark the 1st anniversary of Joseph becoming ill with Leukaemia. I will be completing 15 wks of training and am creating a playlist to listen to during this and the marathon. Please tell me the song you would like on the playlist and why. It could be a song that reminds you of somebody who is battling or has battled with cancer, or may be a song you like or just one you think will help me through. Thanks for your support
I will keep an updated list of all the songs you have suggested below. If the song is for someone special then I'll also include this as well as who suggested the track.
Your songs will help me through the many hours of training in the cold, wet and windy months. Thanks for your amazing support
Email your song details and reasons to josephsjourney@virginmedia.com or get in touch on twitter @dadsmarathon
