My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I am running Sheffield Half Marathon in Aid of the

Seve Ballesteros Foundation supporting Cancer Research UK

I have chosen this charity for two reasons firstly on a personal note I will be running in memory of my wife's late grandmother Beryl Shaw who sadly died in September 2011 after a short battle with brain cancer. Beryl was a wonderful lady and as fit as a fiddle until she was diagnosed with a brain tumour in April '11. To see her deteriorate at such a rate was very hard to take on all her family and friends, so I am running in her memory. We all miss her!

I have chosen the Seve Ballesteros Foundation as he was my sporting idol as a child and a true 'great'. Who was also taken from us trajically after his battle with brain cancer.

Please give generously as this is a wonderful charity. All proceeds raised will go towards high-quality brain cancer research carried out by leading scientists for Cancer Research UK.

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.

Thank you!
