Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our club JustGiving page.
Each year the club picks a charity to support and after losing sadly a family member of the club to pancreatic cancer it was the overwhelming choice for 2015.
Pancreatic cancer is the 5th most common cause of cancer death in UK. However the survival rates for this disease have not changed in 40 years.. Pancreatic Cancer UK works tirelessly to make a difference through support to patients and carers, research, and training for nurses.
Running in pairs club members will circuit Thornton reservoir between 0500 and 1700. Each circuit takes between 15 to 25 minutes and runners usually run/rest over a 90 minute period as their "contribution".
We raised over £1000 in 2014 with 39 runners. Each runner also donates a £5 runner's donation. Gift aid helped tremendously to boost the final total. Donating through JustGiving is also very effective, simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on 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 for the charity.
We hope you can support our efforts for this great cause and keep your fingers crossed for decent weather on the day.
Many thanks
