We all have a circle of influence that effects the lives of others and it seems that mine is effecting yours, as you have somehow reached my fund raising page. The people that effect me have in one form or another been touched with cancer and this is my way of lending them a hand, an arm and a leg to help.

For those who know me less well, I love a challenge and this is easily my biggest. I will endeavor to run at least 3 miles a day (outside) every day for a year. I started on the 1st of January and will finish on the 31st of December 2013.

The minimum distance I will cover is 1095 miles and I need your help to spur me on. A pound per mile would be great as would just one pound, so don't be put off by the £100+ donations (please), your pound is as important as anyone elses.

Macmillan help people deal with cancer in all sorts of way, emotionally, financially and practically. I couldn't think of a better companion for me every day, as they are there every day for people dealing with cancer.

Please give generously, it does make a difference.

Finally for all those running souls that I will meet along the way, if I don’t seem to be racing as hard as I did last year, well my race this year is just a little longer than you might expect!
