Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am pleased to say that Caroline and I finished the run despite the horrendous heat, so unusual for Edinburgh. I finished in 4 hours 45 minutes and I am delighted. I have submitted other monies via the bank so in total have raised around £700 for MacMillan, a brilliant charity.

In a moment of madness last year after successfully completing the Great Scottish half marathon, my friend Caroline and I decided we could go the 'whole hog'!! There have been many anxious emails and texts since between us, checking out if we are still 'the full shilling'!!, but we are on track for this run and want to raise money for charities close to our hearts. I am running for Macmillan as they work with those affected by cancer. I have a close ex colleague/friend and family members, my young brother and cousin, who have been through or are going through treatment currently for this, so I want to do anything I can to raise funds for an organisation that can support and help them if needed. I am also running in memory of my mum who died at the early age of 52 over 30 years ago when there was not so much support available. Please support me if you can and thank you so much for this.
