My story

So the 6 Towns Run is back! But with a twist for 2012. I’m doubling the amount from 6 half marathons to 12. The 6 Towns Run X 2 = 12 half marathons in 12 days.

Why? I simply want to put something back into my local community and to continue to support the Donna Louise Children’s Hospice and the vital care they provide to critically and terminally ill children and their families.

I’m very lucky to be here, we all are; but some are not so fortunate; like 5 year old William who was born with a serious heart defect and has undergone two heart operations and is now waiting for a transplant so he can enjoy life just like you and I do. He visits the hospice on a regular basis.

So I’ll be running my legs off for children like William and his parents too. No one should have to outlive their child but the Donna Louise Children’s Hospice really do make every moment special; and they need our support and donations to continue to care for William and other children who aren’t as fortunate as you and I.

Please give what you can afford, every donation, whether big or small helps carry me when the legs don’t want to run and keeps me motivated knowing that money is coming in for the hospice.

Follow me on Twitter @6townsrunner for training updates and more.

Thank you

Phil
