My uncle, Pete Bryant, lost his fight with cancer in February 2008; it goes without saying how much he is missed. In memory of him and in support of the family who stood by him with such strength, I am running the Bristol Half Marathon to raise money for Forest Holme and the people who took care of him so well when he really needed it.

This is not to be taken lightly, I'm known to be particularly lazy and lacking in motivation when there's exercise to be done . I've had a little injury that's hampered training but I've been working really hard to get ready for the run and I am going to finish it no matter what!! So please spare anything you can to spur me on and make my Uncle proud!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Friends Of Forest Holme 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 please sponsor me now!
