Last year I did the Great North Swim and raised money for The Christies Hospital in Manchester.

This year I am doing;

(1) The Great Manchester Run (10K on the 20th of May 2012 - Completed in 1hr 3mins)

(2) The Great North Swim (1 mile in Lake Windermere on the 23rd of June 2012 - CANCELLED)

(3) The Great Manchester Swim (1 mile across Salford Docks on the 1st of July 2012 - Completed in 38mins 40secs)

(4) The Lancaster 10k (18th July - Completed in 59mins 25secs)

(5) The Great North Run (16th September - Completed in 2hrs 29mins 17secs)

(6) The Lancaster Half Marathon in November 2012 (4th of November)

St John's Hospice are a great local unit that took care of my Nan when she needed it and i know they have helped many people in the local area so, here's my chance to give a bit back.

So please help if you can, even £1 will help!

You can even text to donate if you prefer to 70070 e.g. PETE78 £5
