Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When I run the 2016 London Marathon it will be my third full marathon. I started running in 2013 to get fit and run just one event, a half marathon. Since then I have finished five half marathons and run Manchester & Bournemouth marathons. Since deciding to run a full marathon, It has been my ambition to run London and as it's one of the worlds largest and it's the perfect opportunity to raise as much money as possible for charity. My reason to run for charity is my father, as he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Thankfully he was successfully treated and given the all clear in 2014. The support and advice from Prostate Cancer UK was first class, so that is why I applied to them for a London Marathon charity place. The fundraising goal of £2000.00 is the minimum I need to raise, I know with help and support we can raise this amount if not exceed it.
