10 years ago, Gary's dad, James Shaw, quickly and sadly passed away following a very short battle with cancer.  We both wanted to do something in remembrance of James and at the same time build in a challenge - James knew Gary and I liked a challenge!

Whilst Gary and I like running, and have completed marathons before, this is a challenge on a whole new level. We'll basically be doing almost 4 marathons back to back over 4 days. This is going to be tough and we're definitely not underestimating it.

Raising money for charity will be a great motivation for us and we're delighted to be doing this as part of Team McKeown, raising money for MacMillan. 

Fundraising is hugely important to Macmillan. Without people doing events, running marathons, climbing mountains, and donating in all the other ways that you can, Macmillan wouldn’t exist.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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.

Please donate whatever  you can to help us reach our total. All donations will go towards supporting the magnificent work that MacMillan does in supporting those who have been diagnosed with cancer.
