Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.

In November last year, I had some work done on a cardiac condition  and went through cardiac rehab, on completingI set myself two goals - do a full-day bike ride and run a 10k race.

The former I did last week, and in September, I'll be running 25k in honour I'd my Dad - Jack

During the time I was trying to get over the physical and emotional effects of the cardiac issue, Jack, was living each day with the knowledge that the liver and colon cancer he had was a daily challenge and his time was limited.

What really inspired me was that no matter what Dad was going through, he always had a ready smile, welcome and frequent jokes for whoever he was with even on the morning of his passing.

If I can live my life  by being a tenth of what he was, I will be a happy man.
