Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A couple of months ago I decided I wanted to challenge myself. Those who know me know that whilst I enjoy the gym, running has never been my strong point. So I decided to set myself a goal - to be able to run 10k. So, in April 2016 I will be running the ASICS 5K MMT Seguros Madrid and 10k EDP Rock 'n' Roll Madrid.

Whilst this may not seem very far for the half and marathon runners out there - I can asure you these runs will be a real challenge for me!!

Whilst taking on such a personal challenge, I thought I could also help out a charity for some extra inspiration and purpose. 

I have chosen Cancer Research UK. I believe they are a fantastic charity because they consider all types of people, young, old, male and female. Many peoples lives are effected by cancer and if I, with the help of you, can play a small role in the process of helping 'beat cancer sooner' that will be AMAZING!

However, if you feel another charity is worthy of your donations please donate to them instead. Any money raised for any worthy cause is better than none at all! For example other charities doing amazing work are: 

Alzheimers: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk

or Mental Health charity mind: http://www.mind.org.uk

Donating through JustGiving is 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.
