My story

Thanks for visiting my justgiving page. A large number of you have supported my running efforts in the past so, as the title suggests, I have decided to up the stakes somewhat this year in an effort to provide more value for money in these austere times...

My brother, Richard, lost his brave struggle with Cystic Fibrosis at the age of just 23.  A cure is getting ever closer thanks to the great work done by the CF Trust but they rely on the generosity of the public in order to fund the extensive research and improve patient care. 

In June I will be heading to Stratford-upon-Avon to attempt a 100 MILE ultramarathon. This will be a non-stop run over the rolling hills of the Cotswolds. By far my most savage undertaking yet. I will do my best to detail the highs and lows on my blog - http://jonsalmon.wordpress.com

Any donations will be very gratefully received by the CF Trust and enable to continue their great work in attempting to find a cure for this disease that affects so many lives.

Please help me make my endless hours of running worthwhile.

Thanks for your support!!
