Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

As it looks like I won't be competing in Beijing this year in the Marathon I have decided to head back to the Toon (went to Uni these for those not in the know) to take part in the biggest half marathon in the world! I am actually really excited and will be even more so if you can help me raise loads of cash for the Christie Hospital. In between training for the Olympics I have started work at the Christie and it is a truly amazing place. We treat more than 40,000 people with cancer every year, as well carrying cutting edge research and clinical trials. This means we don't only help the people of Greater Manchester and Cheshire but also have an impact on the whole of the UK and Europe.

So I would be over the moon if you were able to sponsor me.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Christie's 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.

THANK YOU!
