I am running 500 miles in a year for two charities - Maggie's Cancer Centres (UK) and the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation (Canada) - in the hope to raise GBP500.

To donate to Maggie's Cancer Centre, please use this page. For my chosen Canadian charity, please follow this link:

I'm not doing this alone though! I'm part of a team of 10 raising money for some excellent causes. This is going to be a challenge as I've never been disciplined or dedicated in physical activity. The extreme temperatures of Toronto will also be a factor. Visit http://5000milerun.co.uk/ to see how we are all getting on in our challenge!
