Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.

I only started running 8 months ago ( to complete the Great North Run) and anyone who knows me will know I am not a runner! I wanted to do something to challenge me personally and raise money for a great cause - Cancer Research.

I along with lots of other people know people who have been affected by this awful disease, some have fought and won and others have unfortunately fought bravely but lost the battle. 

I started this challenge looking to run 6 half marathons - one for each person I know who has been affected by this awful disease and raise money at the same time. I have decided to raise the stakes and go for 12!

Please sponsor me to take on this challenge! I am hoping that I will be as fast as Mo Farah by October....

I am running the below half marathons and will complete my 12th on the 14th October and will be running the last one with my sister whom I am sure will get me through it!
