Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. We are Joanne Falconer and Claire Pirie and together we are raising money for Breast Cancer Care  and CLAN (Cancer Link for Aberdeen and North) throughout the year by taking part in the ING New York Marathon 2008 in November!

Both charities do such excellent work and are surviving completely on donations from the public. Both of us feel passionate about these charities as we have both lost loved ones to cancer and these charities provide a huge amount of support, information and advice which we have benefited from. Not only do they provide such services to those who've had a Cancer diagnosis, but also to their families, friends and carers and we would like to show our utmost support by doing this marathon for them.

For those wishing to donate to Breast Cancer Care please sponsor us via this page, if you wish to donate to CLAN please go to: www.justgiving.com/joclairenyc-clan

Alternatively cheques can be made payable to "Diced Cap" who have kindly agreed to take care of our banking. Just drop us an e-mail and we'll let you know where to post it to.

So come on folks dig as deep as you can and sponsor us online. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. Breast Cancer Care will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Please sponsor us now and help two great charities continue to make a difference to people's lives!

For those of you sponsoring us that wish to be kept updated with our training, sponsorship raised, support and any other antics please send a blank e-mail to joclairenycmarathon@yahoo.co.uk with the heading of "subscribe". We aim to get a newsletter sent out every 3-4 weeks.

Many thanks for your support. I do hope that a better picture can be uploaded shortly! 

Jo and Claire
