My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising event, this is my 1st Justgiving page & I'm really looking forward to raising money in memory of some special people, who are unfortunately no longer with us.

Aged just 28, my Uncle Calum collapsed and died following a brain haemorrage. Other members of our immediate family were also affected by debilitation following brain haemorrage and related events- my Grandad, who suffered a stroke and partial paralysis following a haemorrage and my Grandma (his wife) who, following a period as my Grandads carer, also experienced but survived two blood clots in the brain. If there was one type of illness which has had a profound and devastating effect on my family, it would be those conditions supported by BASIC.

In memory of these three special and much loved people and in order to help those currently experiencing similar events, I have completed the Great Scottish 10K run, in Glasgow and the BigFunRun in Aberdeen, the Nike+ Human race 10K in Victoria park London as well as the Gorilla run 2009 in London [on behalf of the Gorilla Organisation]. That's it for this year, although I have raised the bar for next year and will be training for some longer distance events- stay tuned and more importantly PLEASE SPONSOR ME and help this great charity.

All this running, you'd think I'd be fit by now! Luckily, you don't have to be Liz McColgan to run on behalf of a chosen charity and although I have improved my 5K time by 8 minutes and my 10K time by 5 minutes, I am far from a seasoned runner. It's amazing at all these races there are so many charity runners; way more than the club-runners who you might think dominate running events.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: BASIC (Brain And Spinal Injury Centre) 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.

Thank you for your interest & support.
