My story

 

Just a quick update for everyone...

I've had to pull out of the Windsor half marathon tomorrow :-( I'm really sorry to let everyone that has sponsored me so far down, but I have been really unwell this week and there is no way that I would be able to race.

But....I said I would run a half marathon and after everyone's very generous donations I am definately going to complete a half marathon. I'm still waiting on confirmation of my entry, but at the moment it looks like it will be the Stevenage half on Nov 1st (which means I get a whole month more of training, so you are actually getting even more value for your money!) As soon as I have the details I will let you know.

 

Thanks again for all your support so far

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you will know I have been training for the last 5 months to run the Windsor half marathon! What started off as a joke between myself and a work colleague has now turned into a one woman mission to actually finish in a half decent time without having to be carried over the finish line.

In the time that I have been training my grandmother who was diagnised with cancer last year sadly passed away and so I thought this would be a really good opportunity to try and raise some money for a charity which offered a lot of support to my family whilst she was ill and will hopefully help others in a similar situation. The Paul Strickland Scanner Centre is an independent medical charity which has been providing state-of-the-art scanning services for the early and accurate diagnosis of cancer and other serious diseases for almost 25 years and any donation you can give will ensure that they have the very best scanners and facilities.

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.

Best of Luck Lau !!! You have done so well, get this out of the way and it will be a huge weight of your shoulders and your tootsies!!! :) x x x Donation by Kaleigh Scott 30/10/09
