Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On September 16th I will be taking part in the worlds largest half marathon - the Great North Run, where I will be lining up with 55 thousand other people to run from Newcastle to South Shields, hopefully I will still be able to see Mo Farah and Haile Gebrselassie in the first kilometer.

3 weeks later, Paul Underdown and I will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon. We ran Reading earlier in the year and will hopefully be able to achieve another good time.

3 weeks later again so the 28th October, Paul and I will be taking on the Great South Run. This is Paul's favourite race and I think he has been a bit ambitious with his finishing time, but lining up with the Kenyan's at the front will be a great experience.

All money raised will be going to help the hospices. With this being our employer's charity partner, any money raised will be matched (up to £1000), which is a great help.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
