                        Thank you for visiting my Just giving Page

As many of you know I have been baking cakes all year for Macmillan Cancer Support (hence the picture) and I will continue to do so , but thought it time try something different to raise money for Macmillan.

To be honest when I signed up for the Great North Run I didn’t know much about it, and had no idea it was in Newcastle  J or that it was 13 miles !!  Nevertheless  happy to give anything ago.

It’s now time to think about it seriously though I can’t put it off any longer, early morning runs back on the agenda .....

 

Since Lockton Companies LLP, chose Macmillan to be our charity of the year we are always looking at ways  to continue to support them. 

So please if you would like to donate however small it would be greatly appreciated   towards such a great cause, the run isn't until September 18 so  I will keep you informed how my training is going.

Thanks in advance,
