Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We have all experienced losing a life to cancer, whether it be close family, a friend, or a friend of a friend.

I lost my Auntie to cancer last year, and have two friends of a similar age to me who have recently undergone (hopefully) sucessful surgery to defeat it!

I have wanted to do 'something' to help for a while, but didn't know what i could contribute.

Other than my kids, my passion in life is running ... a lot of people already collect donations from race events, so i was stumped ..... until i heard about Eddie Izzard and his amazing Sports Relief Challenge - a marathon a day for 7 weeks!

I am late to running and have only ran one marathon ... it was a struggle, how can anyone run them back-to-back for 7 weeks? ... truely amazing!!!

Inspired by Eddie, and raising money for this worthy charity, i have challenged myself to run 10K (6.2 miles) a day for 10 weeks (no rest days)!!!

10k is a manageable distance, but every day for 10 weeks, irrespective of illness, the occasional hangover, fitting it around family and work committments? - will take some doing!

I will start my challange on Friday 23rd October 2009 and will (with a good tail wind) complete it on Thursday 31st December 2009 just in time to enjoy a new years celebratory beer!

Please donate as much as you can - the more you do, the less inclined i am to back out!!!
