Story

<p>Hi folks,</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>After running three half-marathons and many many 10ks I'm&nbsp;now ready to face my biggest challenge yet... a marathon!&nbsp; This is a huge dream of mine, and with this personal achievement, I would like to raise as much money as possible for Breast Cancer Care - a charity I feel very strongly about and&nbsp;that I've raised funds for previously.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>On top of the marathon,&nbsp;we're&nbsp;organising two other events with the help of my family and friends.&nbsp; Firstly, a quiz in my home-town of Dunoon at Dunoon Golf Club on Friday&nbsp;the 18th of March - it's sure to be an entertaining night with a raffle at the interval to win some great prizes.&nbsp; Secondly, a bake sale at&nbsp;work&nbsp;on Tuesday the 26th of April with the help of my colleagues, too many to name, who are donating home-baked goodies!&nbsp; My mum is also working away making cards, and my granny&nbsp;is making crafts&nbsp;to sell, donating all the money&nbsp;they raise to Breast Cancer Care.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>What's more, my employer, Tesco, is supporting me all the way by offering me a 20% top-up on everything I raise -&nbsp;so keep that in mind and be super-generous as for every &pound;5 you donate, Tesco will add another pound!&nbsp; Plus, if you're a&nbsp;UK tax-payer please&nbsp;don't forget to add in gift-aid!&nbsp; Doesn't cost you a thing and adds that little bit more to support this amazing cause.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks in advance for all your support.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Emma x x</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To Becky Farish, my granny:&nbsp;love&nbsp;you so much;&nbsp;I so&nbsp;admire your strength and&nbsp;hopefully I can&nbsp;be just as strong when I hit the wall&nbsp;a few miles in!&nbsp; You're an inspiration and&nbsp;we're so lucky to have you.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>PS: There is an error on this page - it says I'm doing the half-marathon but I am in fact doing the full marathon, I just don't know how to change it!</p>
