Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

OK I'm MAD so my children keep saying but what a chance to run my first marathon in what is arguably the world’s most famous, at 70 and a few weeks. Wouldn't you?
Maybe not, but here's an incentive, two friends over a meal whilst working in Valence  pledged £50 each on completion of my first marathon, on hearing this on return to the UK two other colleagues pledged the same.

It seems a long time since the rectal cancer was removed, but its only about 18 months and 10 months since I took up running - I have done a 10K, the Bristol Half and the Great North. People have been so generous in sponsoring the various charities and though it has been hard sometimes I really I enjoy running.


So will you make all the winter slog in training worth while by donating to Leukaemia CARE --  it's up to 40 miles a week in all winter weather from now till April 26. That's got to be worth something even if I never did any more!

Update

Eastbourne Half March 1st  PB 2:12.30  that's 12 minutes better than the GNR
Over 20 miles in training !!!!!! Such fun on the Ridgeway getting LOST

Next Reading 29th March all part of the training but this one is for Leukaemia CARE they have provided this oportunity so in returm I want to support them all I can with your help of course, so please be generous.

Then April the 26th London 26.2 miles for DELTA

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Leukaemia CARE gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
