Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  As some of you know, last year I lost a good friend to cancer. He was taken from us far too young and was always an inspiration. Through him, some fantastic causes have been supported and I have chosen CR UK due to its research focus and their desire to eradicate cancer.

For my challenge, I have gained a place in this years' Great North Run. It's a race I usually enjoy following on the TV before popping for a half hour jog around the block. This year I'll be joining the runners in Newcastle for my first (and likely only) half marathon.

Please donate whatever you can to this great cause. Thank you.
