Story

Why am I doing this?

First, I want to support Pilgrim's Hospice as they helped in Andy's last few days by providing amazing care at home for Andy.  They were brilliant and they depend on donations to continue their important work.

Secondly, I've been doing the Couch to 5k programme (C25K on the NHS website: #mce_temp_url#) and have literally started from scratch.  I used to get out of breath running for one minute!  I've just completed week 4 and have managed to run in 5 minute blocks now.  I should complete the 9 week programme a fortnight before this 5k run is taking place.  Doing this 5k run for Pilgrims Hospice is giving me something to aim for to complete the programme.  And I'll have to do it if you are all sponsoring me!

The run takes place at 7.30pm on Saturday 26th October in Canterbury - not long to go now!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.  But if you don't want to give online, you can send me a cheque made payable to "Pilgrims Hospices" and, if you confirm that you're a UK tax payer, then they can claim the gift aid back.
