My story

In my 8th and (hopefully) final year of studenthood, I have decided to make the most of my freedom from the 9-5 in aid of a very good cause. I'll be entering 12 half marathons in 12 months for Macmillan. From the start line in Bristol in September, to the finish line next August, I'll be running 157 race miles and well over 800 miles in training - that's the distance from London to Barcelona.

More than 1 in 3 people will suffer from cancer during their lifetime, so, one day, we could all need Macmillan to give us support, whether it be as sufferers, relatives, or friends.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.

My updates 10

Today was my first trail run in Evesham Vale - 1 hour 54 of mud, hills, 18 stiles, ploughed fields, paddocks, and more mud. 8 down, just 4 to go!

Ran the Hastings Half Marathon on March 23rd, despite the -5 wind chill, in 1 hour 43. Soreen malt loaf are doing very good business with all this running...

21/04/13 18:50

Half way there! Today I ran the Tunbridge Wells hilly Half in 1 hour 40 minutes - a new personal best, coming in 9 seconds faster than at Oxford.

24/02/13 23:49

Another run finished! Yesterday I ran up and down the hills of the Watford Half Marathon for 1 hour 42 minutes, finally destroying my much-abused trainers and unleashing a major craving for post-race bacon sandwiches...

04/02/13 15:11

A wee update - I've been busy booking races, and am now psyching myself up to run around Watford, Tunbridge Wells, Hastings, Evesham, Stonehenge, Malvern, Coniston and Bristol! Only 104.8 race miles to go...
