One of my best friends and his family received the horrible news late last year that there Father had a terminal illness and did not have long to live, and has since passed away, from the moment they received the news, they were incredible, both in there personal attitudes and the support they gave there Father in his final days, it was truly inspirational, I immediately wanted to show my support by doing something for an appropriate charity and decide to do a half marathon in February in Exeter, in memory of a great man, the charities i have chosen are the Farriers Foundation, who give support to there members and families in testing times and the CJD Support network who are the only UK charity providing emotional and practical support for all strains of CJD and for those who are at greater risk of CJD
