Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I'm running in a couple of races in the next few months to try to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. 

I'm running in memory & celebration of the life of my amazing Dad, whom we lost to cancer last October. 

My first run is the Stafford Half Marathon on Sunday 25th March 2007.  When I ran in this race last year, Dad was there to cheer me on - I'm sure he'll be with me every step of the way this time too.  I was lucky enough to receive a free entry this year (just proving that you should fill out after-race questionnaires!) & so I'm donating my entry fee to get the ball rolling.

This race will hopefully be a good warm up, as on Sunday 29th April, I'm running in the Shakespeare Marathon in Stratford-upon-Avon.  This will be my first full marathon - that's 26.2 miles! - & I'm really looking forward to it. 
Hopefully I'll still be smiling at the end!

If you can, please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK 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.
