My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A few years ago my brother had to have a kidney with a cancerous tumor removed at the age of just 37.  Luckily the cancer was caught before it had spread and he has been fit and healthy ever since. Unfortunately others aren't as lucky. So that's why I'm embarking on my next marathon challenge - doing three half marathons in three weeks for The James Whale Fund for Kidney Cancer, the UK’s leading specialist kidney cancer charity.   The charity aims to help reduce the harm caused by kidney cancer by increasing knowledge and awareness, providing patient information and by supporting research into the causes, prevention and treatment of the disease.

My challenge begins on 27 September at the Sony Ericsson Run To The Beat Half Marathon, then on 11 October I'll run the EDF Energy Birmingham Half Marathon and finally on 18 October I'll compete at the Amsterdam Half Marathon.  Although I've done a few marathons in the past, I'm quite daunted of the task ahead as my training hasn't quite gone to plan... but you know how I love a challenge!

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.

Many thanks for supporting me and such a worthwhile charity - it is greatly appreciated.
