Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've been whinging about my leg niggle since last July and how it has been hindering my favourite hobby of running ...Training for the July 10k starts today and the training for the half starts in July- ironically a year on since my injury started but please remember it's not me I'm running for. 

Recently I have just learnt that a running buddies 18 month old has been diagnosed with cancer! He is being treated at the  'Royal Manchester Children's Hospital' which is local to us.

On knowing this I have decided to 'man up' about my minor injury and take on a the half marathon ... 2 weeks today now! ...  to raise money for Ward 84 where Jacob is being treated.

You may think a half is not a long distance for me but I still haven't ran more than 8 consecutive miles since July 2017 and the challenge will be to finish, not a time, with Jacob and other cancer fighters in mind xx

Please donate what you can and I will be undertaking other running events and activities to  support  #Jacobs join.

Thank you in advance :)
