Story
I am pleased to say that both my initial target of £500 and my second target of £1000 have been reached and breached. Please do not let that discourage any new visitors to the site though. It's all for a great cause.
Many thanks to everyone who has donated (including the jokers!).

Marathon
It's a long way to Aberlady... and then back to Musselburgh.
At least it is on foot. However, that's what I'm planning on doing. On 27th May, I'm going to run the Edinburgh Marathon. That is probably a highly entertaining thought to most of you. Probably a fair point actually(!) but I'm going to give it my best shot anyway. I'll be running for Maggies Cancer Centres and would like you all to help me raise as much money as possible for them.
You may be surprised to hear that 1 in every 3 people develop some form of cancer at some point. in their life. Chances are that if you are not one of those people already then you know someone who is, or was. Please think of that person, or those people and donate generously :)
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Maggie's Centres will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support.
