Thanks for supporting my fundraising. This year a couple of people very close to me have had treatment for cancer. The impact really does hit home, and its charities like Macmillan who support people with cancer by giving everything they’ve got.

For this reason, and despite previously swearing never to do another marathon, I've decided to do another one for such a worthy cause. Not just any one either, running up and down the hills around Kielder reservoir, Northumberland for 26 miles! As part of my training I'll also be running in the Great North Run on September 9th.

Finally, 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.
