Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the 2017 Bath Half Marathon for Macmillan Cancer Support, in memory of my grandparents and auntie who all lost their fights against the disease, and most recently my dear friend Adam.

Also, my paternal grandmother is currently terminally ill with cancer, and I want to do something to raise awareness and support this fantastic charity. Additionally, I feel that by running this I will be able to do something to help, when I have always felt so helpless.

Two years ago I was barely able to walk, let alone run, due to degenerative hip problems. But through a C25K programme and parkrun, I now run up to 10k four times a week. However, I have yet to run a half marathon, a distance that still daunts me.

I have set a target of £300 and will be training through the winter months, so I can achieve my goal. Please help me support this marvellous charity and a cause, so very close to my heart.

Thanks for reading my story,
