Story

Welcome to my 2012 challenge. To raise money for Cancer Research UK I am going to run 12 half marathons in 12 months in 2012. I will be running one in each month in 2012 with the final one in December being the Santa Run in Wellingborough where I will be doing it dressed as Santa! After breaking my foot in July 2012, I am finishing off the challenge in 2013.

Cancer Research UK is a very worthwhile cause and one that is very close to my heart as my Grandma passed away from Cancer 4 years ago as did my Uncle when I was younger, my close friends have also lost their dad to Cancer recently. Anything you can give will be much appreciated.

I will be travelling all across the country, even going abroad for two of the races, to run in the 12 races. I will be paying for all of the expenses so all donations will go straight to Cancer Research UK. The 12 races I am running, in which various people are going to join me on, are:

 

2 Jan - Central Lancashire New Year's (Preston)

19 Feb - Brighton

11 Mar - Silverstone (with Jocelyn Payne)

1 Apr - Madrid (with Joanna Wood)

13 May - Leeds

17 Jun - Lanzarote

1 Jul - Lakeland Trails

21 Oct - Run to  the Beat (London) - pushed in a wheelchair!
