My story

 

Hi All,

5 years after completing the London Marathon and swearing to never do one again, I have succumbed to the masochistic challenge again and will soon find myself lining up to take part in the ING New York Marathon on 1st November'09.(mad fool that i am!!) Training has been much harder this time round!! (not that the increased maturity of my age has a contributory factor!!) and i have endured aches and pains in places you would not possibly have imagined??   

Not wishing to complete this monumental task solely for personal glory, i have decided, for personal family reasons, to dedicate my run to raising sponsorship monies for Breast Cancer Care, a registered charity which specialises in providing much needed information and support for anyone unfortunate enough to be affected by breast cancer.

I have set myself a goal of raising in excess of £5,000 for this worth while charity and would welcome each of your donations (both big or bigger!!) as a significant step towards me reaching my overall target.

 

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......to support me in my quest!!

 

Many Thanks

 

Chris
