Edinburgh Marathon 2007 · 27 May 2007 ·

At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you. Visit www.younglivesvscancer.org.uk

Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

You didn't think we were just running the marathon did you?! We've done it now - in 4hrs, 15 mins and 20 secs, despite the windy weather and it didn't hurt as much as we thought it would!   

In true Ruston style, Mark has convinced Linette that the Leeds half marathon (13th May - done! 1:56:06) and Manchester 10K (20th May - also done, Mark 43:21, Net 51:17)) are part of the training plan... But that's not all! We will also be taking to the hills in Wales on our mountain bikes just 6 days after the big run to take part in the 75K Rough Ride http://www.roughride.co.uk/.  OUch!  That was tough -  we only did the shorter 42K route and it still took 6 hours... too much running still in the legs! 

We are aiming to raise £900 for CLIC Sargent so please dig deep and sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: CLIC Sargent will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
