********** UPDATE************************************

Mark and I made it round in 97 and 110 minutes respectively (1697th and 5494th).  We had a great day and the sun shone (I may even be a little bit tanned!).  All is well apart from some slightly painful leg muscles and decaying teeth from too many carbo-gels! 

Thanks to everyone who sponsored us and especially Marks mum and dad for their patience and organisational abilities!  

********** UPDATE************************************

Not long to go now till the race - just wanted to let everyone know that Air Products (our employers) have agreed to pay 50% of whatever sponsorship we raise, so our charity will get 178% (including that nice gift aid thing) of any amount you give us!  Bonus!

**************************************************** 

Yup, another sponsorship request! We are aiming to run the Great North Run (half marathon) in 100 minutes and to raise over £750 for NACC. 

The NACC is an important charity to me as i have ulcerative colitis, and I also know many other people affected by colitis and chrohns disease.  I'm lucky to be healthy enough to run a half marathon - so please help me and mark support them in the excellent work they do.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us as The National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease - NACC - 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.

So please sponsor us now, and many thanks for your support!
