Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

My Mum was one of the first fund raisers in the Cockermouth area for Hospice at Home, emptying the collections boxes in many pub , bookies and shops in the area. She started the chick knitting selling via County Fruit in the 80's doing hundreds in the end. She and my Dad (David) cycled John O'Groats to Lands End in the early days of fund raising too. 

It will be 10 years since she died from bowel cancer this year, so feels a good year to dedicate my various races to her. Officially the Brigham 10K is the big race, but I am also doing the Stroke Association resolution 10K, Vale of York 10M, Leeds Half marathon, York (Jane Tomlinson) 10K, and Middlesborough 10K, taking my total to nearly 50 miles raced in the year. I predict a park run or two to get beyond 50 to match my age!
