<p>Last year many of you supported me whilst I ran 3 marathons in 3 days in memory of my mother, Brenda McCracken. &nbsp;Your kind contributions helped me raise over &pound;4700 which was split between the Oesophageal Patients Association and McMillan Cancer Support. &nbsp;This year I intend to do a series of events throughout the year Starting with Tough Mudder in May and ending with Men's Health Survival of the fittest in Novemebr. The details will be available on www.ian-mccracken.co.uk</p> <p>Even though I hope to raise valuable funding for the OPA once again this year, I believe it is equally as important to raise awareness of all that the OPA does, so even if you can't help with sponsorship please help spread the word and tell your friends and family about the OPA www.opa.org.uk&nbsp;</p> <p>Many thanks</p> <p>Ian</p>
