Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On September 27th I am running my first half-marathon which will be my first attempt at more serious running after doing a few 10k runs over the last two years - and with a half-marathon weighing in at over twice as far as a 10k, am certainly in for a tough time!

Earthwatch is a charity that is dedicated to preserving the diversity and integrity of our environment and wildlife around the world, and is well worth any contribution that you can make.  Don't just take my word for it, please take a look at their website to see the work and research that your contribution would assist http://www.earthwatch.org/europe/aboutus/results/.

I am also keeping a simple record of my training via Twitter at http://twitter.com/runcumbrianrun to help keep me honest in the run-up to the half-marathon.

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.
