Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I know I said I would never run a marathon again, but this is my way of showing my appreciation to a cause which has helped me in some way over the years.

I lost my father at the age of 13 to Bowel Cancer and my mother in law has recently had treatment for it too. She is by no means cured, but if this money helps Beating Bowel Cancer to get closer to finding a way of preventing the illness or curing it altogether, then hopefully my child and his children to follow, won't have to worry about this and other cancer related life threatening diseases.

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.

I know times are hard, but charities need our support now more than ever. So please dig deep and donate now.
