Hi,

My Mission of 6 Half Marathons in 10 weeks on behalf of the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice was accomplished on 21st November; with the 6th and final race in Gosport completed in 1:51:16, a new PB!!!!!

Great to have Adele & Tom running, and to have my amazing Trainer for emotional support. Who was supporting who remains questionable :-) And as usual here's the finish video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dXUqxrWmGI

All this effort has been in aid of the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice (PTH).....a little corner of Farnham in Hants that quietly gives so very much to so many, just when it's needed! My Dad spent a few weeks here last Autumn when the pain of his cancer became too much. The wonderful staff helped manage his drugs, got him back eating, relaxed, smiling and talking; and most importantly they restored his dignity and got him back home with us where he wanted to be.  

But the hospice reaches beyond immediate care; it’s about aftercare too....PTH continues to provide comfort and support for my family and others long after we have lost our loved ones; it’s just great to know it’s there. So if you are able to help, this would be greatly appreciated.

For the statisticians amongst you the race times were as follows:

12th Sept - Chippenham Half Marathon (dedicated to Laurie) 2hrs 02mins 25secs

19th Sept - Farnham Half Marathon 2hrs 10mins 06secs

3rd Oct - Cricklade Half Marathon 1hr 55mins 11secs

17th October - Cardiff Half Marathon 1hr 51mins 40secs

24th October - Stroud Half Marathon 1hr 54mins 26secs

21st November - Gosport Half Marathon (Dedicated to my Dad, Peter!) 1hr 51mins 16secs

I know my target looks ambitious, but to give it perspective a new all singing all dancing bed costs £ 2,500 ......so I'm hoping to cover this with a little to spare!  Although my primary focus is PTH, my family will personally be matching 20% of the all monies raised as a separate donation to Macmillan Cancer Support.

Many thanks, Mr G and The Trainer :-)
