Story

<p>Wha-hooo! and, ouch! Job done in 2hrs 2mins. I was in bits at the end but it was so worth it. &nbsp;Fantastic day - awesome crowds and a fair few shouting out for Drugfam as I ran by. &nbsp;See my gallery for a few mobile phone pics. &nbsp;Thanks to all who have donated so far. Massive generosity xx.</p> <p>*******************************</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit this page, whoever you are!</p> <p>Two years ago almost to the day, my cousin Pasco James - see pics below in 'my gallery' - died unexpectedly in his sleep. &nbsp;He had struggled for a long time to find a way of living without drugs. &nbsp;As I discovered at his memorial, there were so many that loved him and many more who valued his considerable talents as a musician and fisherman.</p> <p>I am running the Bath half marathon in his memory. &nbsp;For those who miss him most and for the thousands of families affected by drug addiction, I am passing all donations to 'Drugfam'. &nbsp;Pasco's mum, Harriet, nominated this charity, which she found a massive help in the terrbile aftermath of his death. &nbsp;Thank you for any sum you feel able to give.</p> <p>For those of you who are new to JustGiving, here's some info:</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
