It has been a long time since I’ve attempted to run this sort of distance (I haven’t run this far since before my kids were born!). I had never thought that, 11 years on, my knees would be creaking and my back could be thrown out just by sleeping! Nevertheless, I have dusted off the trainers and started to pound the pavement all in aid of raising money for Macmillan.

I lost a great friend to cancer earlier this year and many of you will know how cancer has affected my family. In fact, everyone reading this will know someone who has been impacted by cancer.

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.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe, JustGiving - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.

THANK YOU for supporting my fundraising.
