Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having lost a number of family members and friends to cancer and previously completed log runs of 10 miles upwards for Barnsley Hospice I thought I would have a crack at a marathon to raise some funds.  I am most of the way through my training programme at the moment and it is going OK although the long weekend runs feel like an eternity!!  This will be my first marathon and hopefully not the last either.

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.  Barnsley Hospice is a very worthy cause and you never know one day you may need the services of a hospice yourself.

Many thanks
