Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have set myself the challenge of running the Wigan Half Marathon on Sunday 19th March and raise money for cancer research, which as many of you will know, is a charity close to our hearts, as it is to so many of us. We all know a family member or friend who has been through hell with this terrible disease.

I am raising money to say thank you for all the help and advice this charity gave and is still giving my dad as he went through his cancer treatment. Without their help and advice we wouldn't have ever got through this terrible time.  

Running doesn't come natural to me and I am by no means prepared for this half marathon, as the furthest I have ever ran in my entire life is 9 miles and this was quite a long time ago but I am ready for the gruelling training to raise money for such a good cause and hopefully bring get us a step closer to finding ding a cure.
