My story

 

I have done it!!!  I'm home and in a bit of pain, but I think it was worth it!

You can still donate money to a great cause, the site will be running for a few more days yet.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

As a lot of you will already know I am attempting to run my first marathon!  After years of thinking about it I made a silly decision and signed up for the Abingdon Marathon!!  So now there is no way out of it, and in just a few weeks time on 19th October 2008 I'll be running 26.2 miles.

I have been training hard for months now and currently running about 20 miles a week.  I have already worn out one pair of trainers and can't remember the last time my legs were not aching!

As well as completing my own ambition to run a marathon I am also hoping to raise money for Willen Hospice.  Willen Hospice is a small local charity who provide specialist care for adults from Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas who have cancer or other life limiting illness. They are a registered charity and provide their service without cost to the patients or their families. Me and my family have seen what a difference Willen Hospice can make when they looked after my Nan several years ago when she was fighting cancer.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Willen Hospice 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!
