Way back in January (2013), a friend asked me if I wanted to sign up for the Lincoln 10k, "It'll be fun!" he said. Running is not something I have ever equated with fun, but a lot of my friends on Facebook seemed to be posting about their latest running achievements and I had a midlife crisis itch I needed to scratch. Thus began a training program on a scale I would never have imagined in my wildest dreams/nightmares.
The Lincoln 10k came and went and I achieved my goal of completing the distance in under 1 hour (just), and I also managed to raise over £250 for charity. So when the same friend asked me if I was up for running the Nottingham Half Marathon in September, "the entrance fee is discounted", I immediately said "NO!", and promptly signed up.
I'm hoping to make these two races a regular occurrence and I would like to support a couple of charities that have a personal meaning to me, along the way. In order to do that I've created two pages and linked them via this "Team" page. If you want to donate to a specific charity please feel free to visit that particular page. If not then just donate to the team and your donation will be split evenly between the charities. This page will stay live until the Lincoln 10k 2014 is over at which point I'll start training for the next Notts Half Marathon and give you all a break from having me nag you for donations!
Thanks for taking the time to look at my page and a huge "Thank You!" for your donation.
Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
