Howdy hoo,

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Great South Run on the 25th October to raise money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, which is the leading charity committed to fighting breast cancer through research, campaigning and education

 

My aunty is one of many people suffering from breast cancer for which regular treatment and medications have too many side effects and do not work. Whilst I can't do anything directly to help my aunty (aside from becoming some kind of medical genius, which probably wont happen), by running for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, I can help to raise money for a charity which funds research into new treatments and particularly, alternative drugs for those who are badly affected by regular treatments. 

 

A little goes a long for the charity I have picked - as little as £5 buys "100 microscope slides needed to look at cells in detail under a microscope...or  £120 pays for 20 peoples blood procesing as part of the Breakthrough Generations Study" So even my target of £200 pounds will make a big difference to funding research into cancer treatments. 

 

After two years off from real exercise recovering from my little rugby incident it is going to be a big challenge.  So, if you would like to make a donation to help me reach my target of £200, please see below for details

 

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.

 

(I will update my training progress regularly but I wont upload any photos....just picture a tomato, thats what my face looks like when I'm running)

 

Thanks for your help!
