Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In April I signed up to do the Liverpool Marathon purely as a personal challenge as I'm now in my 5th decade on this planet. Since then a lovely young woman and good friend has had to start her fight against cancer again and it dawned on me today that I might be able to raise a few pounds for her charity whilst I do my best to complete the course. I've developed flat feet, I've lost a toe nail and truthfully, I'm dreading the day coming. But that's nothing compared to dealing with cancer.

The charity is The Dove Service www.thedoveservice.org.uk/ and it "offers counselling and support to those struggling with the impact of bereavement, significant loss, or life changing/limiting illness." They now have a local office in Wirral because of the demand for their services.

Please give what you can and spread the word for this worthwhile cause.

I will be pounding the roads sometime between 10am and 4pm on Sunday 14 June. Hopefully I won't need all that time....
