Sadly a close family friend of ours was diagnosed with cancer just before Christmas.  Most of us have heard about Macmillan, but now, more than ever, I can appreciate just how invaluable their support is to the families that require help in their time of need.

Most of you will know that I have been running for a few years now but I have never before asked for charity donations - I haven't done a marathon before either!!!  My target is to complete the marathon (which is the day before my 52nd birthday) in under 4 hours and to raise plenty for Macmillan. 

All donations are greatly appreciated but please also add a link for this page to your facebook and twitter accounts etc.  This is such a worthwhile cause and surely must be worth a little time and effort.  The marathon I can do on my own, but please feel free to help me as much as you can with the fund raising by spreading the word amongst family and friends. Thanks :-)
