We pioneer life-saving cancer research to help us beat cancer

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Many of you will know I've done x2 marathons before (Paris '05 & London '06) and may question my sanity in doing another one! However, losing my Aunt last year to cancer has prompted me to put my running shoes back on and I hope you'll be kind enough to support me.

Training has gone well so far - I've covered 551 miles since 5th January, training 6 days a week.. I did the Gloucester 20 on 8th March (a 20 mile race) in 2 hours 29 minutes, the Forest of Dean trail half marathon in 1 hour 32 minutes and Reading half marathon in 1 hour 29 minutes. It's all fruitless though unless you dip into your pocket please!

If you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. 1 in 3 of us are affected by cancer, so please support the work of Cancer Research and sponsor me now!
