This will be my 3rd marathon in 12 months and my second Edinburgh adventure and I have joined forces together with Prostate Scotland to raise invaluable funds to continue their excellent work.
Training is progressing to schedule despite a slight IT Band issue end of April, though with the help of my friend and Sports Injury Massage, Tommy Lawrence, now back up and running.....
I appreciate I am asking you to Dig Deep again so a big thank you in advance from me and from Prostate Scotland - every penny does make a difference.
For all the latest news on my marathon training, highs and low, visit my Facebook blog.
Now the serious stuff.........
Prostate cancer is more common than you think - about 1 in 2 men will be affected by prostate disease during their lives - In Scotland 1 in 12 men will develop prostate cancer during their life. More information can be found on the charity's web-site. My family has been visited by this cancer three times - so for me its personal.
Along with your support again , we can help make a difference together with Prostate Scotland. Together, in 2009 we managed to raise £1200 for Prostate Scotland - so thank you to everybody who donated.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Prostate Scotland gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So dig deep and please sponsor me now!
John
