Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

It's just one day to go until Race Day! Over 360 training miles have been completed by both of us combined! Thank you for all your support and donations. We are both as ready and prepared as we can be. Now we are just looking forward to crosing the finish line! We hope to see some of you down there for a celebratory beverage!

With less than a week to go before the big day, I can now report that Robert is fully fit and ready to put in a very good time; on the other hand I suffered a shin injury back in August which I am only just recovering from - however, some intense physio and training over the weekend has at least put me in a position to actually do the running while not breaking any records, or anything else, I hope!

Deciding to run this Half Marathon came about slightly by accident. My son, Robert, having decided to do it, goaded me into joining him, and, since a number of family and friends thought I had agreed, it sort of became impossible for me to back out!  

We still need all the support you can give us, wishing us well and cheering us along on the day, but more importantly in raising funds for an extremely worthwhile cause.  

Robert and I have chosen Radio Marsden as our charity to support for a number of reasons, firstly because we'd like to dedicate this run to the memory of my father, Robert's grandfather, who was both a DJ and tireless fundraiser for the radio station, but also because the station is in desperate need of funds to secure its future in bringing music, entertainment and good cheer to the patients of the Royal Marsden hospitals in Chelsea and Sutton.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please make a donation now, no matter how small (or large) to help us reach our target.  As of 30th September we are half way there, so thanks to all our existing sponsors.

And thank you for reading this and being generous!
