My story

Hi all,

Last year I managed to raise £280 for charity by running the Glasgow Half Marathon, so I thought I’d try and raise a bit more in 2012. However, it seems only fair that if I’m asking for money again, that I do a little more myself – so rather than just cover 1 event, I’m signing up to several. So my challenge in 2012 is not just to run the half marathon again, but to do everything below. Hopefully that’s enough to tempt you all in to being generous for a good charity.

In all, I'll be taking part in 5 x 10ks, 1 x half marathon and 1 x cycle from Glasgow to Edinburgh. Details below:

A 10k per week for 5 weeks (during May / June):
Helensburgh 10k
Clydebank 10k
Dumbarton 10k
Vale of Leven 10k
Mens Health for Scotland 10k

Followed in September with …
Glasgow Half Marathon (approx. 13.1 miles / 21k)
Glasgow to Edinburgh Cycle (approx. 47 miles / 75k) (the wife is joining me on this one ... bless her wee soul!)

This years charity is SNAC (Scottish Network for Arthritis in children). SNAC aims to support both the children affected by arthritis AND their families, by providing support through various local, phone and internet contacts. Their hope being to fundamentally improving the childs and families experiences of living with arthritis.

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.
