Story

My plan this year is to run a number of different events, raising as much money as I can for Cancer Research UK. I am starting with the Sheffield Half Marathon in April, then the plan is to do the Leeds 10K, the Abbey Dash and the Isle of Axholme Half Marathon in September.

I can't believe its 10 years since my dad lost his very quick battle against cancer. Not a day goes by when I don't think about him or see something that provokes a memory that makes me smile. It doesn't really matter how much money I raise, every little counts and I would like to think it could make a difference to someone's life in the future.

Update July 2014

So far I have completed the Sheffield Half Marathon in 1 hour 51 minutes 48 seconds.. Also took part in the 45 mile Prince of Wales Hospice cyclothon. I got lost and rode 50 miles! I am now working towards the Leeds 10K in 2 weeks and following that I really want to get under 1 hour 50 for a Half Marathon.. Going to take advantage of the summer holidays and take part in some Park Run Tourism, and doing the Clifton Park, Park Run on August 16th, 10 years to the day that my dad sadly passed away!!!
