Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2017 - it will be exactly 20 years since my Mum passed away due to Cancer.  A 16 year old should never have to say a final goodbye to his Mum, or go to her funeral, or think over and over again why this has happened!!

But it does, to far too many people like me and my family.  We had to say goodbye to the most amazing Woman...nothing can ever bring her back, we only have the memories.  And in 2017, my brother and I, have the chance to celebrate her life, and hopefully put a smile on her face in heaven.

In my eulogy to my Mum, i said some words that i think about each day "I hope one day to make you proud of me". For the last 19 years, I've pushed myself to make her proud, and on the 20th anniversary of her passing, I'm now going to push myself further than I ever imagined possible - 26.2 miles to be exact.  

Considering I've only ever run 10K - this could be quite interesting. Luckily I have my wise, older brother to keep me company (keep me standing), hopefully like the Brownlee's - brotherly love will ensure we make it across the finish line.

Finally, although this is a personal challenge, we are doing it for a cancer charity who fund research into finding a cure for this horrible disease.  It's too late for my Mum, but if we can prevent another family suffering the way we have - then running a few miles - is the least we can do - please help us get to our fundraising target, I will be forever grateful.

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.
