I did it everybody - yeah!!

My time was 2 hours, 7 minutes, which for my first ever half marathon I'm pretty pleased with.  

Despite the weather being wet and miserable for most of the day, it was a really great experience. Although I must admit, I enjoyed the celebratory drinks after the event much more!

Hey everybody!

First of all THANK YOU for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  I hope its contents will inspire you to donate to this great charity. 

Why?:  On 5th September 2010 I will be taking part in the Bristol Half Marathon.  Why?!  Well every now and then I like to set myself these little challenges.  In 2006, it was the Ultimate Everest Trek, and many of you helped me to raise £370 for this charity.  A half marathon might not seem as impressive as my last challenge, but I am getting on a bit now and as I'm not exactly built for long distance running, its not going to be easy!

Why Cancer Research?:  Unfortunately, there aren't many of us out there these days that haven't been affected, whether it be directly or indirectly, by the big 'C'.  Donations like this, no matter how big or small, can help Cancer Research UK to continue to beat cancer.  You only have to look at the website and the work that goes into research, sharing information and campaigning, to know it makes sense!

How to donate:  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.

Thanks again.
