Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am doing the Great North Run for the very first time to raise money for Rossendale and Bury Hospices.

This is a huge challenge for me as it means I have had to drastically reduce my wine intake to keep up with the training!

You all know what great work the Hospice movement does and all donations - no matter how small - will help.

I know times are hard, and people don't have much extra cash at the moment, but if you can spare a couple of pounds  to support either charity it wil be much appreciated.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
