My story

 

Hi All!

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I am running in all of the Great Run events in 2008 starting with the Great Winter Run in Edinburgh. Most races are 10k with one being 5K and another 10 Mile. I will also be taking part in this years Great North Run in September.

EVENTS:

BUPA Great Winter Run (January) - Completed
BUPA Great Ireland Run (6th April) - Completed
BUPA Great Edinburgh Run (4th May) - Completed
BUPA Great Manchester Run (18th May) - Completed
BUPA Great Capital Run (20th July) - Completed
BUPA Great Wales Run (27th July) - DNS
BUPA Great Yorkshire Run (7th September) - Completed
BUPA Great North Run (5th October)
BUPA Great South Run (26th October)

Please visit http://www.greatrun.org/ for more information.

I am raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support as it is a charity close to my heart. As some of you may know I sadly lost my mother in 1995 to cancer and it was thanks to the fantastic support of this wonderful charity that helped to prolong her life for as long as possible. I have decided to run all the Great Run events in 2008 to raise money for this charity and to give something back, which will in turn allow Macmillan to help other cancer sufferers hopefully overcome this terrible disease.

Please dig deep and support me throughout the year. It will be a hard slog but with everyone behind me a little bit of help can go along way.
