Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2012 a close friend of ours, Jackie Orme, lost her battle with pancreatic cancer. Her husband David cajoled and press ganged the biggest charity team to run the Bath half in 2013 in her memory and has continued to encourage runners at Bath and Cardiff ever since, raising some £250k for research in the process.

2017 will be the team's 5th year at Bath and there will be 75 of us sporting the Team Jackie running tops.

In a moment of madness I entered the ballot for the London Marathon and was successful, so April 23rd will see me struggling the 26 and a bit miles around the streets of the capital.

At the time of writing I have 2 weeks before the Bath Half and 8 weeks before London. I struggled this morning to 11 miles so some way to go in the training.

If you feel able and inclined to support this cause it would be much appreciated and will help get me through the long training miles.
