Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After years of watching the Great North Run on TV and wished I had taken part, I decided 2012 was the year that I would take the plunge and enter. To my shock (and horror!) I secured a place on my first attempt. I decided it would be an excellent opportunity to raise money for a charity close to my heart at the same time...

Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer by offering practical, emotional and physical support. With more people living with cancer than ever before, the need for their work is constantly growing. In 2011, nearly 98% of their income came from voluntary giving and fundraising showing just how important it is they keep getting the financial support they need.

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.

Your help is much appreciated,
