Story

Hi Guys,

This is the big one.

Some may remember when I couldn't run the school 800m without getting a stitch. Well times have changed! Thanks to Liverpool Running Club, I've got a place in the best marathon in the world. I'm not going to take a chance like this lightly and would love for you to be part of the journey.

I'm going to raise money for the North West Cancer Research Fund. The NWCRF funds vital research into the causes of Cancer. Unfortunately, the big C has affected far too many people, especially within my family. It's time we kicked it into touch, so I'm prepared to do my little bit. All money raised for NWCRF stays in the North West and 90% of funds raised go directly into research. In my experience, this is a very high percentage.


Q&A

Yes - This is my first (and quite possibly only) Marathon

Yes - I'm going to raise money or a good cause

Yes - It will really hurt


Please dig deep and give what you can, every little helps. The comedy of the situation alone is worth a couple of quid!
