Story
Introduction
If you know me personally you will know that last year, like many of others, my family was devastated with a diagnosis of bowel cancer. This year I'm continuing my running to help raise more money but this year it will be going to Bowel Cancer UK.
Last year I started in July with the aim to run 10K races in 2018, 10k + half marathons in 2019 and 10K, half + full marathons in 2020. I decided to break this rule and do a cheeky half marathon last year and in the process, I injured my knee. Clearly, I needed to train more. This year will go ahead as planned, 10Ks with some half marathons. Maybe a full marathon if i train correctly.
When you donate, what are you donating for?
It's very simple. When you donate you will be doing so for every run/race i do in 2019. At the stroke of midnight on Dec 31st, all the money will automatically go to Bowel Cancer UK.
