<p>Hi All</p>
<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>Together with my good friends Neil, Nick, Rob and Andy we aim to tackle our first half marathon together on 11/09/11 ....at Lake Vrynwy.</p>
<p>I am raising money for Halton Haven - a local Hospice in Runcorn that cares for people over eighteen years of age with life-limiting illnesses living in Halton and surrounding areas</p>
<p>Its a charity close to my heart as it cared for both my Dad (Bill) and Step Dad (Bob) in their final weeks.</p>
<p>It costs around £1.9m a year to ensure the Hospice, with limited state support, can continue to support 12 in-patients and 60 day patients a week. Your support here is very much appreciated. Thank you.</p>
