Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Cancer touches us all so I decided to run for the people who are working against it. Karate is my passion and I have always run as a regular part of training. Some time ago my daughter ran two marathons and I helped her to train for them. This got me interested in the longer distances and here I am, at 63, in my first marathon.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now. A single pound might be the one that makes all the difference.

Update

I managed to complete the marathon and to run all the way.

Deep thanks for all donations, on-line and off-line.
