Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

4hrs 29 mins 07secs (25435 place). I have to admit to being a little disappointed with my time as I was hoping for something closer to the 4.15 mark but there is no kidding that this was a tough undertaking. I'd like to congratulate Mark my running mate who ran a very creditable 4hrs.10mins and 20secs.

It was fantastic to be a part of the whole event with over 48000 other competitors, some 1million + supporters around the course, all this allied with your tremendous support has made this one of those life memories that will remain with Fiona and I for all time. Your generosity towards my fundraising goal has been truly outstanding and the amount raised beyond anything I could have perceived. Thanks to all of those whom have rallied to this top cause. You have donated over £2000 on line in addition to the £2000+ off line so a MASSIVE Thanks to you all.

It's been great to have family and friends new and old from all around the UK give so generously.

It's not too late to sponsor! I will leave my Justgiving site live for a few weeks as I know of a few who pledged their support and haven't got around to it yet. So come on all of you who have said you would now's the time. Help me to help Macmillan Cancer Support and sponsor now! It's the least we can do for those who helped Fiona and I when we needed it.

All of us have or will come across cancer in one way or another sometime in our lives. There are an estimated 2 million people living with cancer in the UK alone. We must ensure that organisations such as Macmillan Cancer Support are there to help us through those difficult times. No matter how large or small your sponsorship is it will help, so please click the 'sponsor now' button.

Sponsering me via Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Support gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So click that button and sponsor now!

 

Thanks to all of those family and friends whom have sponsored me already, your support is and has been invaluable.

Best wishes from Paul and Fiona
