My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

In 2009 I'm hoping to complete seven marathons in seven months to celebrate my seventh year of being in remission from Hodgkins Lymphoma. To help me achieve this please spur me on by giving as generously as you can to my chosen charity the Lymphoma Assocation.

I've set quite an ambitious target of £7,000, however when you think about it that's only £7 from a thousand people or indeed a rather more generous £70 from 100 people. Now I'm not pretending to know 1,000 people, but hey if you can help me encourage random people that I don't know to contribute then that's all the better! It's a fantastic cause and does so much good for Lymphatic cancer sufferers across the UK. You can find out more about the Association by clicking on the link on the left. I'm also hoping to host a number of fundraising events throughout the year too to help in subsidising the cash a little bit.

Because it's going to be quite a challenge for a slightly chunky, almost 30 year old, who's currently not very fit to achieve seven marathons I'm giving you the dubious pleasure of keeping up on my challenge and the various events surrounding it by reading about it on my blog. Just go to: www.luckyno7.com to find out all the goss and read about my random musings in Murakami style...

Thanks very much for visiting and extra, extra thanks to those that donated!

Don't forget... donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Lymphoma Association 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.
