My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Update: 10th December 2009 - Just passed my target of £1500 today! Great stuff!! Thank you ever so much to all of you who have donated so far, both on and off-line. I've got a few days left at home before I'll be heading back to sea, so the pavements of Crieff will be getting a bit more pounding from me yet. Thank goodness I invested in the cold weather running gear, it's been well used this time home.

For those of you visiting this page for the first time, let's blow this target out of the water. I know you can do it. And for those of you who have promised me that you will donate, I know where you are ......

Why Lynn's bowel cancer campaign?

Like Lynn Faulds Wood, my Mum was eventually diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer after months of medical delay. My Mum is currently responding well to her treatment and has taken heart from the fact that Lynn survived and has spent the last eight years helping to save lives from this cruel, common cancer.

Bowel Cancer is the second most common cancer which kills people in the UK, causing more deaths every year than breast and cervical cancer put together. Around 35,000 people will be diagnosed with bowel cancer this year.

Bowel Cancer is preventable, treatable and beatable.

Lynn's bowel cancer campaign is a truley voluntary charity and are working to change the way people get diagnosed and treated without delay. To find out more about what they do and how to SPOT the symtoms, visit www.bowelcancer.tv  It could save your life!

Being a young at heart 44 years old, I thought I'd challenge myself to run a marathon and at the same time help to raise awareness of bowel cancer. After all, I've run a few half marathons and the odd 10K, so a marathon shouldn't be too hard ....... should it?

Please help me reach my ambition and help Lynn's bowel cancer campaign in the great work that they are doing. You know it makes sense!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Best wishes

Andy

p.s. You know I'm persistent so you might as well donate now before I start to really pester you!
