Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am running the Reading half marathon a&nbsp;few weeks&nbsp;after my 40th birthday, to prove that I can still be fit&nbsp;in my forties!!</p> <p>During&nbsp;my training at the end of last year my father in law Phil&nbsp;fell ill with an aggressive form of&nbsp;cancer, and sadly deteriorated quickly, passing away in February this year. He was a great guy and will&nbsp;be&nbsp;sorely missed, not least by my kids who loved spending time with their&nbsp;Grandad.&nbsp;</p> <p>Phil spent his last weeks being looked after in the Weldmar Hospice in Dorchester, and received fantastic care while he was there. The hospice needs donations to stay open, so I have decided to run and raise funds for the hospice.</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 effi.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
