Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In September 2017 my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. We have just received the fantastic news that she's had a full pathological response to the treatment. There is still a bit to go through yet but we are overjoyed that she has beaten this awful disease.

Throughout the treatment the Macmillan nurses, workers and volunteers were amazing and so I decided I would like to do something to give a little bit back. So here I am signed up to do the Great Manchester 10k run.

I haven't done a 10k official run for over 30 years. My 3 targets are 1) to finish the race in one piece!, 2) to try and run it under 50 minutes and 3) to raise at least £250 for the charity
