Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Early in the new year I was asked by my good mate Simon if i would like to take part in the Great North Run!  My first thought was there is no way i could do that! Those who know me well should know i prefer the couch and cider to trainers and tracksuits!! As it turned out Simon was on holiday so i thought i was off the hook.  He then suggested the Great South Run..  I think his exact word were "its only 10 miles"

I said yes - thinking i could do something for others for a change, and signed up for a place with Team Macmillan to raise money for Cancer Care.  Cancer has effected my family and close friends in the past and this was the obvious choice for a charity.  Macmillian work hard to help people living with Cancer by offering help and support during difficult times.  99% of Macmillians work is funded by voluntary donations which is why any donation you can afford will make a difference.

The training is going well and its only 3 weeks to the big day.  Its going to be hard but i know we will make it over the finish line..

Any donation you can afford to make will be a massive help to reaching my target and to help Macmillian continue to offer help and support to people living with Cancer.

Many thanks for your time.
