Sadly, my friend and colleague Ian Wright passed away in July after a short stay at this amazing hospice(http://enable06.myenable.com/enabledsites/cransley/?page=home&subpage=227293.) I promised him that I would take part in the Run to the Beat half marathon on 27 September to raise as much as I can to help them provide care to others and to their families at this difficult time.

Well they say a picture paints a 1000 words and this photo speaks for itself! I am delighted and rather surprised to be able to say I actually did it  and as requested in an Everton shirt (Ian's favorite team). Sunday was a little warm to run (to say the least) however I did my best  and with all your kind donations I have raised  well over £500 - twice my target! Thank you again for your support. I can honestly say without it I would never have done this!  But it is going to such a great cause. 

If anyone would still like to contribute  please do! The hospice would be delighted and from the photo you can see I have kept my side of the bargain!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Any donations I receive they send directly to the hospice and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it is a great way to raise more money whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Many thanks!
