Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>At the age of 50 years old I have decided that I will take up training for and competing in endurance events. At the end of May I will be driving up to Edinburgh to take part in the Edinburgh marathon. I am not aiming for a fast time, just getting around the course will be an acheivement.</p> <p>In July I will be taking part in the 3 counties sportive cycling event. This is 100 miles around Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Leicestershire.</p> <p>Also in July is the Trenham Triathlon (sprint) if I can rearrange my shifts then this event may be an option.</p> <p>Living with cancer is an endurance event in itself. There is no quick and easy way. By donating some money to Cancer Research UK through this page you can help the boffins in the white overcoats find new ways of fighting this terrible disease.</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. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
