My story

Hello!

I'm dedicating the Cambridge Half to my Uncle Peter this year. He  passed away in January and as Cancer Research UK was his chosen charity I'm going to see if I can go the extra mile to raise some money in his memory.  He was a wonderful uncle and godfather and just so happened to be a keen runner in his youth, among his many gifts and accomplishments, so I hope he'll be smiling somewhere on 10th of March.

I'm also running in the Paris Marathon on the 7th of April!

Also two friends of mine are getting married in June and they've asked for donations to Cancer Research UK instead of presents.  What a smashing idea!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

One race down, one to go! I'm travelling to Paris tomorrow afternoon. It looks as if it'll be every bit as chilly as the Cambridge Half was but I probably won't get snowed on at the start line. Probably.
