Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My challenge this year is the London Marathon! 

I was very lucky to get a ballot place but still wanted to raise some money for a great voluntary rescue service. Mountain Rescue are a fantastic nationwide charity saving lives in wild and remote place. 

I am predominantly a trail runner on the North York Moors covering many mountain rescue area's but I wanted to raise funds specifically for my home area, the Cleveland Mountain Rescue team. For everyone who visits, walks or runs on the moors its reassuring that somebody is there 24 hrs a day 7 days a week if we get into trouble.

Volunteers that risk their own lives to save others, without funding and your kind donation, they won't be there to help! 

I have chosen to raise money for Cleveland Mountain Rescue and have no set target, however the charity pay a fee for receiving funding this way so if you pay income tax please gift aid your donation. The small fee is deducted when the gift aid money received from the government has been added to your donation, so every single pound you donate is given to the charity. I want to raise as much money as possible, the target on the page is a minimum amount I want to raise! 

Thank you for donating, remembering this is a massive challenge for me and I have trained for months already with many hours of training to come so please dig deep and give as much as you can!

P.S. If you visit the Moors, even on a summers day be suitably dressed and carry enough things to keep you warm if you get in to trouble. It's over a thousand feet higher up than sea level and the weather can change in a second as us Hardmoors runners know!
