Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Anybody who knows me will know that every now and again I get a daft idea in my head that usually involves me doing some form of physical activity that I am in no fit state to do... This time, it's the Greater Manchester marathon. :-S

After running a 10k and doing various things on the bike, I wanted to do something even more extreme, this, combined with the terrible news of one of my close friends being touched by cancer (sadly, we all know somebody who has been) I was inspired to take on this challenge in order to raise money for The Christie, an amazing charity committed to helping all those affected by cancer.

A marathon is a huge undertaking, one that I don't know if I am fully prepared for, but with your sponsorship and the inspiration I take from knowing people dealing day to day with cancer as well as those who have lost people to this terrible illness, I know I will be able to finish the race, and hopefully raise lots of money for a truly great charity.

I have requested sponsorship in the past, and many people have been extremely kind and supportive, and to all those who have donated previously I would like to say thanks again (as well as asking you to dig deep one more time!).
