Hi, and thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to attempt to run my first Marathon - the Brathay Windermere Marathon on Sunday 16th May 2010!  The race covers 26.2 miles around the shores of Lake Windermere in the Lake District.

My late father-in-law, Cliff Tinworth, passed away in December after a brave battle with cancer.  It is in his honour, and memory, that I will be running to raise money for the Brain Tumour Research Campaign (BTRC).  The BTRC's vision is...

"...to raise public awareness of the need for brain tumour research and the lack of funding that currently exists by a series of fundraising events and applications for research grants among corporate and medical bodies or trusts..."

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 as much as you can to support this fantastic charity.
