This year I have decided to physically and mentally challenge myself whilst fundraising for the Barchester Healthcare Foundation, a fantastic charity that supports and makes a real difference to older people and other adults with a physical or mental health difficulty.
The challenge is to run the nine 10k races and three half marathons, listed below, between March and August 2009:
March
15th March Dronfield/ Derbyshire (10k)
29th March Lincoln/ Lincolnshire (10k)
April
5th April Rothervalley/ Sheffield (10k)
12th April Skegness Lincolnshire (half)
19th April Derby Derbyshire (10k)
May
3rd May Titchmarsh Northants (10k)
10th May Leeds N Yorkshire (half marathon)
June
7th June Woodall Spa Lincolnshire (10k)
21st June Freckleton Hall Lancashire (half marathon)
July
19th July Sherwood Pines /Notts
August
2nd August York
30th August Moulton Northants
You are more than welcome to come and see me sweat it out at any of the races dotted around the country, with the exception of the Freckleton half marathon (the oldest in the country) they are all in the Midlands or Yorkshire... but please come and see me at any one.
I would be delighted to receive your support and sponsorship per race or a sum for all twelve races but note when funds are committed they are non-refundable and debited immediately. In short if I should suffer injury, illness, flood or swarms of locusts that prevent me from completing you will not receive a refund. Please think about it and if you would rather wait till I have run the last one in August, that’s great, but please don’t forget!
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Barchester Healthcare Foundation 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.

Wish me luck and sponsor me now - however big or small!
Thanks,
