Story

Cheers for visiting my fundraising page. It means a lot to me and the Marie Curie Cancer Care - an incredible charity. 

In 2010 I'm doing 4x trail runs totalling 61k (about 38 miles). Hawkshead (24/04); Staveley/Garburn (05/06); Keswick (05/09); Coniston (02/10).  Terrain is a mix of field, gravel, bog etc.  Your money is a major help on the climbs up to that stunning scenery. 

Below is a quick idea of how your kind donation can be spent. You can also click here for more details.

* Care for someone who wishes to die with dignity in their home - free of charge to patients & carers

* Incredible palliative care

£5 Buys an activity pack for children visiting relatives in one of our 10 hospices.

£20 Pays for a Marie Curie Nurse for one hour in the home.

£30 Buys a slide sheet used by Marie Curie Nurses to move patients in bed.

£125 Would pay for attendance at a Day Therapy unit for one day in a Marie Curie hospice.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the easiest way to sponsor me: Marie Curie Cancer Care gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

If you donate I also promise to cycle into work (13 miles each way) at least once p/wk, every week between now and end 2010.

Please make a genuine difference to someone's life and donate. 

Thanks once again
Jeff

p.s. please pass onto friends/family
