5/10/06 - With just over 1wk to go, I thought I give you all a wee update! Your donations just keep coming and we couldnt be more grateful! Also, I've an extra special thankyou for my friend and colleague Steve King, who has also signed up to run and who has very, very kindly agreed to help by contributing his own sponsorship from family and friends to the pot! GO STEVE! So with event day looming, I'm looking forward to seeing all those smiling faces I know will be there when I finally stagger past the finishing line. :))

7/8/06 - WOW, you guys! I've only been collecting sponsors for a few days but you've all been so amazing and smashed my £200 target already! So, we've rethought the target and with a bit of luck, your goodwill and affection for Stu will carry us even further in our bid to help Pancreatic Cancer UK and all the others who have been through or are going through what we've been through recently. Thanks again!

2/8/06 Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Stu was 61 when he passed away in April 06, 3mths after diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. He was and still is one of the best fathers, husband, son and friend you could hope for and is missed every single day by all who loved him so much. I hope running a half marathon will honour his memory and create some good out of something so awful.

Pancreatic cancer is the 5th most common cause of cancer death in Europe & USA & the 7000 cases presented each year in the UK have a median survival of 4-6 months and a 5yr survival of less than 3%. Donating via this site is simple, fast & secure & the most efficient way to donate: sending 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. Please accept my many thanks and gratitude for all your support, no matter how big or small!
