Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It is 10 years this month since I finished my treatment for throat cancer and 10 years since becoming a  Trustee of Get Ahead charity. I became a trustee as a way of giving back to a charity that had supported me through my illness.  

It struck me today that whilst I have supported the charity in my role as trustee, I have never done anything personally to raise funds.  So here we go!!  

I have always wanted to run a marathon.  But given that my exercise routine in the last couple of years has been non existent then this would be an unrealistic challenge at the moment. However, I have decided that my 2.6 challenge to support Get Ahead will be to run 2.6 miles every day for 10 days.

My family have agreed to join me in this to support me. 

In additional to this, I’ve also decided to give up alcohol for 26 days, for anyone that knows me this will be a bigger challenge.

For clarity, this challenge I will be doing solo.

Thank you for any donations
