Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Since watching Blue Peter as a child I have wanted to run a marathon. I did two half marathons in my twenties and both times thought when finishing I could never run back to the start again! However I have been training for eight months racking up about 500 miles to date. Even so the most I have done at once is 16 miles and so am daunted by another 10 miles on the end next Sunday! But I finally feel confident enough to ask for sponsorship.

I want to raise money for cancer research as over the years I've seen a number of special friends fighting this horrible disease. So much progress has been made through research but there is so much more to be done to finally beat cancer. Any support would be gratefully received. Thank you.
