Having lost several family members and friends to this horrid disease and as a goal to aim for in getting myself healthier and fitter I have decided to run the Edinburgh Half Marathon on 27th May 2012 on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support Charity.

I know times are hard for a lot of people just now, the recession has hit us all hard and the governments spending cuts aren't helping. However, I would appreciate it if you could dig deep and sponsor me, no matter how little, it all helps.

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.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and I appreciate your sponsorship as I'm sure the beneficiaries of your donation will.
