Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Many of you generously sponsored me in February 2011 when I completed the Watford Half Marathon and raised £841.00 for PCRF and I am hoping you will sponsor me again for an even bigger challenge.........

I must be mad but am now attempting to run double the distance (unlike Dad I am not a natural runner).   I applied to PCRF for a place in the London Marathon 2012 and out of lots of applications I was lucky enough to be given a place and my training has now commenced!

Pancreatic Cancer is a relatively unheard of cancer but is particularly agressive.   In October 2005 Dad died from the illness within 8 weeks of diagnosis and until this time was a pretty fit man.     The PCRF concentrates on raising money to fund research into the illness to hopefully help earlier diagnosis and maybe one day a cure.

To help keep my legs moving through what will be a long and hard 26.2 miles, I am hoping that you will be able to sponsor me, and raise some money in memory of Dad.

As before Meg is being a top dog and helping to pull me along on my training runs!

Many thanks

Joanne
