Jane Tomlinson's Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon · 20 October 2013 ·

The Jane Tomlinson Appeal is the legacy of the late inspirational Jane Tomlinson CBE and exists to support children’s health and wellbeing and to improve the lives of people with cancer.

Story

Five years ago I was inspired.  I was moved by the book I read written by Jane and Mike Tomlinson ("The Luxury of Time") about how she (and her family) lived with terminal cancer, faced its challenges and achieved inspite of it.

I took to the streets and ran the London Marathon, raising just over £5,000 in the process.  As I crossed the finish line I vowed I would never do another marathon.  The sustained pounding, the muscles screaming, the mental exhaustion, had drained me.

And I haven't.

Until now.

Five years and four fundraising challenges later and I am once again facing the horror that is running 26.2miles.  Only this time I will have the bonus of a wonderful friend, the irrepressable Mr Skedge, running with me.

Same charity, same distance, different year.

You already know the sensible stuff about donating with JustGiving and here you can read the truth about what/how they take their charge.  But the bottom line is 100% of the donation *you* make will go to the Jane Tomlinson Appeal.

As some supermarket says...every little helps..
