Hello and Welcome!

My Name is Robbie, I am 25 and I live in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. I will be taking part in the Bath Half Marathon on the 16th March 2008.

This will be my second Half Marathon after I Completed the event in 2007 raising money for ASTHMA UK as I have been a sufferer for more than 21 years. I will be raising money again this time but for the

"Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation"

The reason for this is simple. My best friend sadly lost his Dad to Lung Cancer this year. His Dad was also a friend of mine, so I will be running in his memory.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation 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, It means a lot
