Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I was 50 last year and  and as part of my pre 50 crisis was persuaded by my daughters Alice and Grace that I could run a 1/2 marathon. I had never done any running of that type before.On the day many people were running for a cause and were wearing the t-shirts to prove it. I decided that if I did it again I would run for a charity.

As some of you will know I had a party to celebrate and instead of presents I asked for sponsorship  for this years 1/2 marathon. Having completed my Alpine training in the French Alps and survived heat endurance running along the edge of Lake Garda  in August  combined with our family holiday I can now be found pounding the shores of Rutland Water to train for this year's event.

I am running for cancer research as cancer has had a major impact on my life and those around me .
