Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My Dad, Steve Cooke, my Mother in Law, Sheila Duckworth and my Auntie, Vera Foster, all died from cancer.. they were all taken from us too soon and whilst we remember them always we miss their physical presence in our lives always.

It was the 10th anniversary of my Dad's passing on 6th December 2014 and I want to mark this by completing a fund raising challenge...

I plan to run at least 10 half marathons, during 2015, to mark each year.  A big thank you to everyone who has already donated and also to all the support I've been given so far... I've now completed all 10, YAY!!!

1.  Inskip 18th Jan - completed 1:58:17

2.  Liversedge 15th Feb - completed 2:04:08

3.  Liverpool 29th Mar - completed 1:58:44

4.  Blackpool 26th Apr - completed 1:56:59

5.  Liverpool Rock n Roll 14th Jun - completed 1:56:13

6.  Windmill Half (Lytham) 19th Jul - completed 1:58:51

7.  Isle of Man 9th Aug - completed 1:59:17

8.  Great North Run 13th Sep - completed 2:23:46

9.  Worksop 25th Oct - completed 2:04:46

10. The Lions Halifax Half 6th Dec - completed 2:18:49

My aim is to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Reasearch, I've heard recently that as many people survive cancer than die from it now, which is fantastic news... I want you to help me make this statistic even better!
