Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be running the Greater Manchester Marathon 2012 in memory of my mum, who sadly passed away on 23rd November 2011.  She knew how much I had wanted to run a Marathon, yet could never get a place.  After a 10 year absence, this one is back and fingers crossed I aim to complete the 26.2 miles in under 5 hours.

All donations will be going to Willow Wood Hospice - a place my mum enjoyed visiting. 

Willow Wood is a purpose-built Hospice providing specialist Palliative Care to those suffering with life-threatening illnesses. 

It currently costs over £2 million per year to run the Hospice, but no charge is made for any of their services.  Therefore fundraising is an essential source of their income.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
