Coast to Coast run · 6 May 2010

For one in two of us, cancer will change everything. When it does, so can we. Our services, advice, therapies and support are for you and the people close to you, helping everyone to live with and beyond cancer. The funds we raise also support vital, pioneering research and clinical trials.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Myself and 3 equally mad friends have decided to run our own version of the famous C2C run.  We start from Ravenglass on 6th May running to Bowness-on-Solway to pick up the 'Hadrians Wall' path and then follow that into Newcastle and all the way on to Whitely Bay, hopefully arriving on the 11th May.

The specifics:  Its roughly 150 miles in 6 days - so roughly 25 miles a day

The Charity: I've chosen to give money to Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield, more specifically to their Teenage Cancer Unit.  This treats young patients aged 16-25.  Research has proven that young people treated on purpose built wards show a 15% better response rate to treatment, so your support can really have a huge impact, giving these young people a better chance to deal with their illness

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.

I'v decided not to put a target amount but hope to raise as much as possible as your help and support really is of huge importance to Weston Park Hospital and to their young patients on the Teenage Unit. So please dig deep and donate now.
