Thank you for visiting my Just Giving Page which we have set up in memory of my Father in law Russell Petre, a beloved husband & dad and fantastic grandad who was sadly taken away from us after just 8 weeks of being diagnosed with Lung cancer.

A major figure in our close knit family unit, he will be greatly missed but never forgotten by all that knew him. He was a great inspiration & role model, and always had a friendly smile for everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him.

I have chosen to participate in the Royal Parks half marathon in Russells memory on 6th October 2013 raising money for CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families who provide clinical, practical and emotional support to help them cope with cancer and get the most out of life. More information can be found at www.clicsargent.org.uk

The Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon is a beautiful city run in the world’s greatest city, with a beautiful 13.1 mile autumnal route through four of London’s magnificent Royal Parks and past some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks. More information can be found at http://royalparkshalf.com/

As a family we would love for you to show your support and donate to such a worthy cause as Russell was so close to his own children & grandchildren we know he would appreciate what I'm trying to achieve and I know he would be very proud.

I welcome any messages of luck for the big day, and anyone wishing to leave any messages regarding Russell would of course be welcome. I'd love to build a team to run in Russells name on the day, so if you're up for a challenge and want to raise money for a fantastic cause in the process just let me know.

Thankyou & wish me luck !!
