Hi there - thank you for taking the time to look at my fundraising web-page and for helping me to achieve the goals I have set. Please dig deep and sponsor me for this excellent cause as I will be undertaking various challenges over the next year, some a lot more strenuous than others! Event 1. - 3rd-5th May 2008 - Greater Manchester - The Longest Way Round
I will be attempting to complete a distance equivalent of 5 marathons in 3 days. Day 1 - I'll be walking 47 miles from Glossop, via Goyt Valley, Buxton, Macclesfield and Wilmslow to Poynton. Day 2 - I will be cycling 48 miles from Poynton, via Bramhall, Cheadle & Gatley, Sale, Worsley, Atherton & Tyldesley, Bolton, Prestwich, Salford & Whitefield to Bury. Day 3 - I will be running 30 miles from Bury, via Rochdale, Middleton, Royton & Chadderton, Saddleworth and back to Glossop. This is a total challenge of 125 miles, quite a feat I'm sure you will agree.
All of the locations mentioned above have active Round Tables that are within Area 46 Greater Manchester, for which I am honoured to be the Area Chairman. The local Round Tables will be providing support on route and I will be calling in at several of their events from local carnivals to duck races with a view to raising more funds.

Event 2. - 21st-22nd June 2008 - Parish Walk Isle of Man
This event involves walking non-stop through the night for 85 miles, touching the gates of each of the Island's 17 parish churches in less than 24 hours. This race has 1500 + starters but only around 100 people finish it each year due to high levels of both physical and mental endurance needed, not to mention the support required to get you through the night. I will post details of future events in due course along with updates on the events noted above as they are completed.
Cancer is something that has affected not only my family, but many of my friends as well. The money raised will help me to complete an arduous trek through Peru in May 2009 and of course more importantly raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Support 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.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support.
