Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Some of you will know that I had originally planned to run a "Marathon" over the month of March, but an old foot injury ended that plan on 19th March - with 15 miles completed!
That was incredibly frustrating as I don't like being beaten. After a few tears and tantrums I thought about the kind of people I'm trying to help - a cancer sufferer has little choice but to keep going and make the best of what life throws at them...
They don't give up and I'm not going to either! So I'm still going to do something which will be a massive task for me and I'd really value your support!
On 25th March I'm getting on an exercise bike - and I'm pedalling until I've completed 26 miles, 285 yards (42.2 km). The only thing that is going to remove me before I've finished is gravity (i.e. if I fall off!)
I support Marie Curie Cancer Care because cancer is a nasty disease that touches most families on a personal level. Some of these families are fortunate enough to have the support of Marie Curie nurses when they need them most, but there are always more who would benefit from the specialist, dedicated care that they provide.
Whilst I support a few selected charities through personal donations, the fundraising staff at Marie Curie have been incredibly supportive and encouraging of both my donation of time and also my occasional mad ideas (like this one!).
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.
