Edinburgh Marathon 2008 · 25 May 2008 ·

At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you. Visit www.younglivesvscancer.org.uk

Story

The charity donation opportunity for 2008 is still available. 

I completed the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday 25th May in time of 4.21. 

I am raising money for the HBOS Million £ challenge charity for 2008 - CLIC Sargent which cares for children with cancer.  Every pound you donate will be matched by the HBOS Foundation

As for the run itself - the first 17 miles were comfortable, the next 5 OK and the final 4 covered in an individual style that mixed running, walking and hopping as I tried to move my ageing legs forward but stop my hamstrings from cramping.

It was a long way, the last bit was "interesting" but I did enjoy the event overall.  A few aches the day after but no harm done.

Thankyou to all who have donated so far.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.  CLIC Sargent will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
