My story

Cancer effects all our lives, late last summer it took from us our friend Liz far too soon. I for one am sick of pain, suffering and destruction that has on our lives and have decided to do my bit in fighting back and on the 28th August 2012 I am running the Auckland North Shore Half Marathon. Considering in March I couldn't run a mile without stopping this is no mean achievment.

Economically, times are hard and many people are doing great things for great causes but I would appreciate it so much if you could spare as much as you can afford to support me in my challenge.

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 - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

This week I lost my Mum to this evil despicable disease, it is difficult to even consider how I can put into words how I feel right now but it has made me even more determined to complete this half marathon and raise as much money as I can. Please give what you can afford.
