Running for Madelene in memory of my mummy Pamela Cowan
Fundraising for The PACE Centre
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Thank you to everyone for all your donations, i completed the marathon in 4hrs and 20mins exactly what i wanted to achieve. I'm so pleased to of raised these funds for my beautiful niece Maddie, and i know my mummy was there with me today.
Once again from all my family thank you. xxx
My mummy passed away August 22nd 2009 and even though people are probably wondering why I am running to help Madelene my niece rather than a cancer research charity, I know this is what my mummy, 'mumskin' as I called her, would have wanted me to do. You see Mum wasn't into all this cancer research stuff. She never really accepted that she had a horrible disease. Our mummy, my dad's beautiful wife, our Doll Doll's wonderful daughter, was the most bravest woman in the world. Even with the amount of pain she was in, she always managed to make herself look presentable. With her make-up and her ‘fab’ dress sense, she would always say, "Bumble (it's what she called me, don't ask) always, no matter what, take off your make up at the end of a night and make sure you put it back on the next day, as I do"!!! So I'm running this marathon in memory of my mum and to raise money for PACE, a special school my beautiful niece Maddie hopes to attend. Any amount raised will help keep this wonderful school open, as it is primarily funded by charitable donations. Maddie is the most beautiful, smiley 2 year old you will ever come across and don't be fooled because she knows everything that goes on around her, she just needs a little help to move across a room. Any amount you can give is really appreciated by my mum, Maddie and all the family xxx* Charities pay a small fee for our service. Find out how much it is and what we do for it.
