This is me, in 2015, not far from the finish line of the Edinburgh Marathon. My time that day was 4 hours and 25 seconds........ Now, 10 years on, Janet and I will be taking on the London Marathon in 2025 in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Our aim is to get round and enjoy it. However.............if I can somehow take 26 seconds off my PB, then that would be great, but both getting round and enjoying it is the goal. And finding each other afterwards. And raising £3,500 for Macmillan Cancer Support. Thank you so much for any support you are able to give to Janet and me as we take this on.

Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them.
