Story

Hi

In 2016 I completed the 1000 mile challenge in 8 months 11 days crossing the finish line at the Great North Run. Raising money for Roy Castle Lung Foundation and Steps Charity Worldwide.

2017 I want to go one step further and run 2017miles and dedicate 1 year to Children With Cancer Charity. A journey that will see me run 3 marathons in April 2017. The Manchester Marathon, Paris Marathon, London Marathon, Liverpool Marathon, Chester Marathon, Berlin Marathon, New York Marathon. With others to be added throughout the year.

I was watching Stand Up To Cancer on Ch4 and watched the tragic story about Robbie who was just 10 years old that lost his fight to cancer. His poor father Mark not only lost his son but he also lost his wife a few years earlier. Then the poor story of Jessica Whelan who is fighting Neuroblastoma such a brave and inspirational little girl and sadly coming to the end of her fight. I'm dedicating 1 year to Children With Cancer to help beat cancer.

Having a 2 year old daughter myself, its unimaginable to think what these kids and families are going through and with your donation you can help save a child's life. Every £1 raised helps make a huge difference to children living with cancer.

So please donate and lets make the #2017milechallenge a success.

Thank you x
