Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've never run more than 3 miles in a race before. In fact, trying to run for more than half an hour has always been my idea of hell. So, why would I possibly choose to do a half marathon?

When my mum was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer I didn't really know what to do, what to say or how to feel. The people at Macmillan are there to offer help and advice to anyone who is affected by cancer; they give reliable information, invaluable resources and a wonderful feeling of comfort to anyone who needs them. On that note- if anyone is reading this with questions about cancer, whether it's symtoms, treatment or living with cancer, take a look at www.macmillan.org.uk for friendly help and advice.

My target of £918 is enough to fund a Macmillan nurse for a working week.  This is going to be a hard run for me, but if we work together hopefully we can reach the finish line, reach that £918 goal and really help people!
