Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I know it’s hard to believe that I am running a half marathon, but its true! There are many reasons for me NOT to be running in this event: I smoke too much, I drink too much and I get bored of training for long periods of time. The comparables with “Run Fat Boy, Run!” are too numerous to count. There are also many reasons FOR me to compete in this race: I smoke too much, I drink too much and I get bored of training for long periods of time!!!!!!!! A friend of mine told me about this event when she found out I had applied for a place in the London Marathon next year. She thought it would be good training for me. She then told me that when she lost her father a couple of years ago, he spent his last few days in Cransley Hospice and that they did a fantastic job for them. They also need to raise £500k a year and this event is the highlight of their fundraising calendar. Since the word has gone out that I am competing in this race, many friends, neighbours, family and colleagues have told me how many lives Cransley Hospice touches and the invaluable service they provide. So much so that this is no longer a training event for next year – my motivation is to raise £1000 for this worthwhile cause. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cransley Hospice & Community Palliative Care gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. So please sponsor me now!
