I ran my first Marathon in May 2013 and lots of my friends from work and family kindly sponsored me (thanks all), but I wasn't ready to quit and know that I can run the marathon better! So I have extended the life of this page and will be running the Great Scottish Run (Glasgow half marathon) in October 2013 and the Edinburgh Marathon again in May 2014. All money raised will go to Macmillan Cancer support who do wonderful work with many families (including my own) during such tough times in their lives.

I have updated my fundraising target due to the bigger challenge on my hands.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
