Story

I have now run 11 official half marathons (14 unofficial, and Half Iron Man) in the last 11 months as part of the #12in12months #ManProject and I've finally reached the last race!!!!!

I asked my Dad (Dave) to pick the charity for me for race 12 because whilst he has been so incredibly supportive, helpful and involved in my ridiculous #12in12months #ManProject he has also been a bit busy fighting his own battle after being diagnosed with Cancer of the Osesophagus, so I thought it'd be nice to raise some money on his behalf for the final race.

As I would expect from my Dad, he has chosen a fantastic charity in Make A Wish who exist for 1 reason only - to grant magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions.  Focusing on wanting to raise money for those who are yet to really have a life is an amazing gesture on his part and totally reflects the man that he is.  His exact words were "people like me have at least had a shot at life, but with kids it's the only time you'll hear me say it isn't bloody fair!"

With all that in mind my Dad and I would really appreciate any donation that you could make to Make A Wish on our behalf.  (It is our behalf, because whilst he chose the charity I am the one who has to run the 26.2 miles!)

Thanks

Antony
