Story

<p>Well&nbsp;I did it! 26 and a bit miles without stopping, and&nbsp;6 months ago I would never have thought it possible. It was tough, but a great day, and the supporters did a fantastic job helping me along the way. But the real inspiration of course was Gary. Each time&nbsp;I felt like stopping&nbsp;I thought how he kept fighting right to the end, so he kept me going right to the end too. He lived his life with such determination and enthusiasm, that anyone who knew him could not fail to be inspired to do things they never thought they could. And he certainly inspired me to do just that.</p> <p>Thank you so much for all of your generous donations, I know that Bolton Hospice are truly grateful.</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>
