Well, I have now successfully finished my first half-marathon. I achieved a gun time of 1:53 and a chip time (counting from when I crossed the start line) of 1:51. Thank you to everyone who has supported me in raising money for Treetops Hospice by running in this race. I now have a time I can try to beat next year!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Treetops Hospice provides specialist palliative care to patients in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire who have life limiting illnesses such as Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone disease, end stage Heart & Respiratory diseases and AIDS.

Treetops Hospice is raising money for a new Care Centre which will enable the hospice to double its capacity and provide some 5,000 day care places each year to the local communities of Nottingham and Derbyshire.
