My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

This is my first marathon, and frankly its terrifying. With 7 weeks training missed due to a severe case of dodgy knees, my only aim is to try and finish the thing. It would be nice to beat
the guy in the full deep sea divers outfit but I'm taking nothing for granted.

There doesn't appear to be a charity that cares for lanky people with knackered knees into their dotage so thankfully any money raised will go to a far worthier cause.

Macmillan Nurses provide care and support to people affected by cancer. Knowing that making it to the line will help those dying of cancer see out their final days with some dignity will hopefully spur me on over the final miles. More importantly it will make a real difference, even if only a small one, to families (my own being one of sadly many) who have to deal with losing a loved one to cancer.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and it won't result in hundreds of emails offering to increase the size of your bank balance or anything else. 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.
