    Story

    I'm running the Sheffield half-marathon to raise money for Alice's cousin, Jo-Marie, who was in an horrific snowboarding accident in Canada on Christmas Eve, damaging the spinal cord in her neck.

    She did not have travel insurance and her medical bills in Canada have reached the hundreds of thousands. Her and her family also face a life-time of uncertainty and will need to spend thousands of dollars modifying her home in order to make it wheelchair accessible.

    They should not have to worry about money whilst in this situation so I want to raise a contribution for their Gofundme page. On that page you can also read updates on Jo's progress.

    One third of the money I raise will go to the Matthew Good Foundation, which runs charitable projects from Yorkshire to India and everywhere in between.

    All my efforts will be in memory of Matthew Good and Rob 'Basshound' Holmes.

      Thanks everyone for your fantastic donations, we reached £400 today! I completed the half marathon yesterday, making 1 hour 46 minutes much better than I thought I'd do! Also, an update on the fundraising side of things. The Matthew Good Foundation have got in touch with me today and have decided to donate all their share of the funds to Jo-Marie's cause! So now 100% of the money raised will go towards helping Jo-Marie and her family through this horrific time.
